| The two interstate highways crossing South Carolina – I-85 and I-95 – do not intersect, either literally or figuratively, in this state. Both roadways were built on hopes of increasing prosperity, but only one has delivered that promise to those who live alongside its corridors. The I-95 corridor represents half the population living alongside I-85, but twice the unemployment and demonstrably higher rates of poverty. Miles To Go South Carolina (2002) |

SEF's origins go back to 1867 with the establishment of the Peabody Education Fund. In later years, other education funds focusing on the South also were established: in 1882 the John F. Slater Fund; in 1907 the Jeanes Fund; and in 1936 the Virginia Randolph Fund. These four funds merged in 1937 to form the Southern Education Foundation (SEF). |
