Summary "Profile in Black and White: A Frank Portrait of South Carolina" by Howard H. Quint is a critical historical account penned in the late 20th century. The book examines the complex and deeply entrenched racial issues in South Carolina, highlighting the persistence of segregation, bigotry, and prejudice well after the Civil Rights Movement gained momentum. Quint’s analysis serves as a microcosm of broader themes prevalent throughout the Deep South during a turbulent era in American history. The opening of the work establishes the context of racial dynamics in South Carolina by addressing the historical backdrop of segregation and its implications following significant judicial rulings like the Supreme Court's decision in 1954. Quint emphasizes the stark contrasts in race relations, pointing to a state unwilling to acknowledge its legal obligations to desegregate public institutions. He raises pointed questions regarding the moral responsibility of South Carolinians in the wake of these developments. This introduction effectively sets the tone for an in-depth exploration of systemic racism and the challenges faced by both white and black communities as societal norms struggle to evolve.
