COLUMBIA, SC. - January 21, 2020:
Darius Jones, 30, South Carolina Black Pride organizer.
Darius Jones sees a little bit of himself reflected in Pete Buttigieg.
At first glance, it seems the two men are worlds apart. Jones is a 30-year-old Black man from Columbia. Buttigieg is a white man from South Bend, Indiana. Jones attended a nearby historically Black university, Allen University, while Buttigieg attended Harvard and is an Oxford Rhodes Scholar.
âJust to see him and his partner go throughout the United States together, hand in hand, spreading the same message of basically love and peace and unity and honestly that right there puts him at the forefront for me.â
