By Andy Brack, editor and publisher | At the risk of irritating — and alienating — a majority of South Carolinians, here’s a question: Why do we even need something called a Confederate Relic Room?
Before you spit out your coffee, consider that South Carolina doesn’t have a separate Revolutionary War Relic Room or an exclusive World War II Relic Room or a stand-alone Vietnam War Relic Room. Instead, the state has the Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum.
