Migrant Workers End Three Days Of Living In Bus
Forty one male migrant workers slept at a Sumter community center after three cold nights in a stranded bus. They were to leave for Florida around 2 p.m. and had survived on pecans, peanut butter, and water. Local officials arranged meals and shelter at the jail until a repair crew moved the bus 40 miles to Florence for service.
