When 68-year-old Deborah Mack was growing up, there was an understood “line drawn that you knew not to cross.” As a young black woman living during the time of segregation, the Gainesville native said she was fortunate not to have very many experiences with “blatant” racism in her hometown. But Mack said she’ll never forget the experience she had in Gaffney, S.C. After getting lost on a detour while traveling to Virginia to visit one of her sisters, Mack, her older brother, Robert Lee Shirley, and his girlfriend stopped in the middle of the night to ask for directions.
