I was honored to join my fellow South Carolinians at a Bible Study this evening to commemorate those we’ve lost too soon. We are empowered by their legacy. I’m encouraged by our community taking the thorns of tragedy and turning it into the fruit of testimony.

I was pleased to meet with this year’s Moton Fellows from @GloucesterIn. These young leaders are working to resolve social, economic, and political issues in the African American community.

When you give parents a choice, you give kids a better chance at achieving their dreams.
