Why is South Carolina still building roads on top of Black communities?

The Sandridge community in South Carolina, a predominantly Black neighborhood with historic value, is facing displacement due to the construction of the Conway Perimeter Road. The controversial infrastructure project, which aims to connect two existing highways and shorten travel time to the beach, would destroy at least six homes in Sandridge and split the community in two. The case highlights a long-standing issue in the United States, where highway construction has historically fallen disproportionately on African American communities. As the Biden administration allocates funding to remediate communities impacted by previous infrastructure projects, the South Carolina chapter of the NAACP has filed a complaint alleging civil rights violations in the planning of the Conway Perimeter Road.
