Brown and his friends have thought of one potential outcome they’d like to see from the incident: a panel discussion or “unity event” held to “bridge the gap” in Charleston when it comes to race.
“I totally love my city, but the only thing I don’t like is the racial undertones,” Brown said. “There are certain clothing stores I can’t go to without them following me around. That type of pain — you get used to it, you learn to carry that burden. But at some point, some things are just blatant, disrespectful and unacceptable.
“I think we need to make a way to bridge the gap and bring a true sense of community,” he said.
