That’s when he because the youngest elected official in the South Carolina State Legislature and the youngest Black elected official in the U.S. Now, at age 35, he’s a political commentator, lawyer and author. His recent memoir, “My Vanishing Country,” begins with a story about his father’s arrest after a civil rights protest, 16 years before his birth. He was pardoned decades later.
