I am writing about the article written by Bishop Michael Goings “An Unsung Hero with Unswerving Valor.”
Dear Editor:
I am writing about the article written by Bishop Michael Goings “An Unsung Hero with Unswerving Valor.”
In the annals of human history and from the dawn of time, there have been people who were classified as heroes or heroines. These often time very ordinary people were catapulted on the spare of the moment into the crucibles and were able through their courage and sacrifice to do extraordinary things.
In the sixties, Mr. Herbert Crawford, in his usual fashion, would traverse the grounds of Gordon Elementary School.
I want to shout out a big AMEN in response to Bishop Michael Goings’ commentary in the paper. He said it all when it comes to manners and respect.
Matter”
I know that when my son reads this, he will most likely be a bit embarrassed due to the fact that the idea for this commentary was birthed as a result of a conversation that he and I recently had.
If I had to share a word with the graduation Class of 2013, it would be the following. You have entered a stage of your life that can be classified as a new beginning.
I recently became more vividly aware of a courageous struggle that is being waged by a man with whom I am quite familiar. His name is Terry White, and he served (when he was able) as a deacon in our church in Florence.
In all actuality, this commentary started forty-eight years ago, when a man from Latta, South Carolina, fresh out of Morris College, came to Dillon School District Two as a social studies teacher. Little did he realize at the time that he would stay in one school district for so long and would become one of its most beloved and enduring teachers; a living institution within an institution.
It was in August of 2009, when I first met Samuel Ndikumana, who I refer to as “Sammy.”
