Senator Clemente Pinkney Portrait Unveiled

 

 

 

In Columbia, SC yesterday a portrait of the late Senator Clemente Pinckney was unveiled in a crowded Senate Chambers. The portrait was painted by a local and fellow artist Larry Lebby.  Members of Emmanuel AME church and community along with South Carolina citizens of various regions came to give respect.

In memory of the late Senator, my wife and University of South Carolina administrator gave each family member snippets of a Hydrangea. The roots with for and the plant can be place in a place that will give the Senator recognition every year. I watch as she cut each peace and placed in water bags. While she placed them in coolers for travel, I asked how why? After hearing the explanation I knew that the families would be appreciative of the gesture.

 

May the memory of what happened leads us to joy and not hate.

 in an art gallery. The results are... art.

The River Banks Zoo in Columbia SC

 

It has been a while since we visited the Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Columbia, SC. I was impressed with what we had back then and I'm even more excited about what's happening now. We truly have one of the best in the world. I am also happy to see that it is still an all inclusive zoo. The prices on everything makes it affordable for all including the gift shop. Also look for the discount girl on the way out with $5.00 bargains.

With the new Zip-line, Waterfall park and soon to be open, the Sea-Lion center, it will take things up a notch.
Don't be intimidated by the parking lot when you come. We had to park at the very last parking spot and I just knew it would be too crowded to walk around. However, once inside the park it never felt that way. The only real line was the Botanical Garden tram. If you care to take the hill go right ahead. We all need the exercise.
Enjoy what we have here in Columbia, SC.
