SPOLETO LIVES

The NAACP announced a boycott against South Carolina’s tourism industry earlier this year to try to force the state to stop flying the Confederate flag over its capitol. At first it seemed that the boycott might affect this spring’s Spoleto Festival. But, “no artists or musicians have canceled performances, said Marie Lawson, director of marketing and public relations for Spoleto Festival USA, and ticket sales are doing well.” – MSNBC
