Coming off a hot streak of wins in Iowa and New Hampshire, Pete Buttigieg\u2019s campaign attempted to push its momentum to South Carolina earlier this month by hosting The Douglass Plan Culture, Arts & Hip Hop Celebration, a crossover event of arts and politics.<\/p>\n

The event was structured to be an open forum for sharing black art and culture, while also advocating for Buttigieg\u2019s Douglass Plan, which the candidate defined as a comprehensive investment in the empowerment of black America.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we as Americans have done a very poor job telling the story of black people in the United States,\u201d said Tiffany James, Pete for America\u2019s black engagement director.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Buttigieg campaign attracted only a modest group of about 20 local residents, making the event an intimate gathering. Buttigieg has struggled to win over African American voters since the inception of his campaign. A poll conducted by University of Florida\u2019s Public Opinion Research Lab found that only 1% of South Carolina\u2019s African American voters would vote for the 38-year-old former mayor of South Bend, Indiana.<\/p>\n

South Carolina\u2019s primary is on Feb. 29, and according to RealClear Politics\u2019 latest polling average in the state, former vice president Joe Biden is leading with 27%. Buttigieg is polling in fourth at 10%. African Americans make up about 60% of the state\u2019s electorate, many of which are leaning towards Biden, citing strong electability and trustworthiness from his close ties to Barack Obama.<\/p>\n

James kicked off the festivities by explaining how black history has been manipulated to only include certain portions of historical moments and lacks pertinent details and context, something the Douglass Plan would address.<\/p>\n

\u201cMayor Pete realizes this, and he said we need to know the full stories of black people and the United States and their contributions to this country,\u201d James said. \u201cWhen other people learn about our culture and our contributions, they\u2019ll celebrate us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Douglass Plan, released in July 2019, initially received backlash from prominent South Carolina elected officials who said they had agreed to endorse the plan or Buttigieg\u2019s candidacy, even though the campaign said they had.<\/p>\n

Ashley Jordan, a local singer invited to perform by James, admitted Buttigieg wasn\u2019t a candidate she was seriously considering.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was more interested in Beto O\u2019Rourke. Once he dropped out, I had to find a new candidate but I\u2019m not really sure. I just know that we can\u2019t have another four years of him,\u201d Jordan said, referring to President Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m kind of leaning towards Biden. Only because of familiarity,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Yet the Douglass Plan did resonate with some in the audience.<\/p>\n

Antoine Brown, a rapper from Columbia, said he knew nothing about Buttigieg before being asked to perform. He liked what he initially heard about the Douglass Plan and would consider voting for Buttigieg. Any candidate who had a plan for economic equality, education reform and the willingness to help out the underdog was worth considering, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a big push in South Carolina for equality, trying to bring a unified vision. So, anybody who\u2019s talking about that, I could get behind,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n

The Douglass Plan casts a wide net, vowing that when black Americans are uplifted all minorities and people of color can succeed. Proposals included within the plan focus on reforming healthcare, education, housing and voting rights. Buttigieg\u2019s campaign compares the Douglass Plan to the Marshall Plan, rolled out post-World War II and considered the most successful foreign policy program in U.S. history.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not only a black empowerment plan, but it also really looks at and addresses how do we end systemic racism? And what does that look like?\u201d asked Lauren Brown, Pete for America\u2019s South Carolina communications director. \u201cIt\u2019s not a conversation most campaigns are openly or willing to have. And that\u2019s very important to black voters. What as president are you going to do for a historically marginalized community?\u201d<\/p>\n

Terrance Washington, a painter from Blackville, didn\u2019t know much about Buttigieg before being asked to present. But after attending the event, he said he liked what the Douglass Plan seemed to be offering.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was between him, Andrew Yang and [Michael] Bloomberg. But then Pete kept standing out because he kept saying certain things while other people were tap dancing. He kind of answered the question, I liked that,\u201d Washington said.<\/p>\n

Based on what Washington briefly heard about the Douglass Plan, he felt Buttigieg was talking about issues that mattered to him, and that many of the other democratic candidates simply weren\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way he spoke about how people getting out of prison, most of those people don\u2019t get opportunities. He wants to create a system to create opportunities for those people,\u201d Washington said. \u201cHonestly that\u2019s odd coming from a white guy. So, it\u2019s interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

With only two weeks left before the first-in-the-south primary, it\u2019s still unclear if the Douglass Plan can win over enough African Americans in South Carolina and beyond to advance Buttigieg from his current fifth position in statewide polls.<\/p>\n

Lauren Brown is optimistic about Buttigieg\u2019s chances. She believes the race here is still wide open.<\/p>\n

\u201cPete has a very good chance of winning in South Carolina,\u201d she said. \u201cThis team is certainly going to do the work and we look forward to continuing to make the case to all voters, [including] it\u2019s black voters, and introducing them to the Douglass Plan like we did here tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
