November 23, 2015  •  9 Comments

A week ago this morning, I was preparing to cover a student organized walkout and protest at the University of South Carolina.

It's a related story but one yet to be told. I'll be shooting for the Associated Press, so tune in next week to see where those photos find homes.

Chris Christie and ‘the abject failure of leadership’
