On the first Monday of Black History Month U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina spoke to students from Morehouse College’s small group of College Republicans, and other AUC students.
From the Washington Times, “I think 2014 was a great indicator that the center-right message resonates in this country,” said Scott on the GOP’s midterm election sweep.
Sen. Scott outlined an “opportunity agenda” where he advocates for education and energy, and during his speech at the private all-male historically black college, Scott told students that conservative policies would benefit both the nation and the Republican Party.
Originally from South Carolina, Scott is the first elected black Republication senator since 1881 and is also one of two African Americans currently serving in the United States Senate.
According to the Senator’s website, Tim Scott visited each of South Carolina’s eight historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), and regularly speaks to students, “Last February, he also spoke to students at Howard University in Washington, DC.”
