"The Barbershop" is one of our favorite pieces. It captures so many aspects of our movement in South Carolina - including the road many people took from fear and doubt to embracing the possibilities of this historic campaign, and believing in it.
It makes sense that a campaign focused on bringing back a sense of community to our neighborhoods would employ what Barack calls our "barbershop and beauty shop" strategy.
As barbershop owner Emerson says, "In the barbershop, you can just be yourself. We talk politics, religion, we talk everything.
"If people go to the jailhouse, you'll see the bad of the community, all bad. If you go to church, everybody gives you their good side. But you come to the barbershop, you get the real side."
