SUMMARY:Installation of Larry Doby and Bernard Baruch Statues in Camden
DESCRIPTION:  \nA unique act of racial and religious reconciliation will occur in Camden\, South Carolina on March 29th as statues of Camden native sons Larry Doby\, the first African American to integrate the American Baseball League in 1947\, and financier Bernard Baruch\, of Jewish ancestry and an adviser to US Presidents Wilson through Kennedy\, will be unveiled. \nThe dedication will take place at 2:30pm on a main square provided by the City of Camden at Broad and Dekalb Streets on the front lawn of the Camden Archives and Museum. \nParticipants in the unveiling ceremony will include U. S. Senator Tim Scott\, Baseball Hall of Famer Jim Rice – a native of Anderson\, SC – who will pay tribute to Larry Doby\, philanthropist Darla Moore – a native of Lake City\, SC – who will pay tribute to Bernard Baruch\, Camden Mayor Tony Scully\, and attorney John S. Rainey\, originator of the project \, who will speak on the theme of reconciliation. \nRainey is the descendent of two Confederate soldiers and a signer of the Ordinance of Secession. Mrs. Anne Edens Rainey is the descendent of Lt. Wade Hampton Gibbes\, CSA\, who fired the first shot at Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor to begin the American Civil War. The sculptures were created by Maria Kirby-Smith of Camden\, a descendent of Lieutenant General Edmund Kirby-Smith\, CSA\, who was the last Confederate officer to surrender to Union forces in Texas in June\,1865. \nA string and brass ensemble will perform a medley of the Battle Hymn of the Republic\, Dixie and We Shall Overcome to conclude the ceremony. \nBaruch’s statue will be featured sitting on a park bench at the edge of a baseball diamond with his autobiography in hand\,”My Own Story”.  Doby’s statue will stand just behind home plate\, autographing a baseball to Baruch. Each is extending to the other his life’s story across the expanse of time\, race\, and religion. They appear to be in conversation. \nThe overarching theme of the installation is Reconciliation. \n“I wanted to do this project to express our heart- felt gratitude for how far we have come as a state and nation\, but with concern for how far we still have to go. By creating this special place to honor two lives that contributed greatly to our nation\, we will recognize that we are one people inextricably bound together by our shared history and common destiny. We know we have not come as far as we should or as far as we can or as far as we must to achieve reconciliation. But why not now in this place–South Carolina’s oldest inland city– and at this time? Waiting can no longer be an option\,” Rainey said. \nSCETV will edit the program for later broadcast and offer the footage to PBS’s National News Hour for telecast and web. \n  \n  \nTweet

SUMMARY:Crisis Ministries to Host Screening of PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS in Charleston
DESCRIPTION:Crisis Ministries will host a screening of Pursuit of Happyness to raise awareness of homelessness. The 2006 film is based on the true story of Christopher Gardner\, a homeless\, single father trying to make ends meet. \nThe movie will be shown at 6 p.m. on Thursday\, March 14 at the American Theater (456 King St.). A $12 donation is suggested. Popcorn and soft drinks are included\, and a cash bar is available. Seating is limited\, so attendees are encouraged to arrive early.  Tickets are available online at: http://charlestonhomeless.givezooks.com/events/movie or at the door (based on availability). \nAbout Pursuit of Happyness: \nWill Smith stars in this moving tale inspired by the true story of Chris Gardner\, a San Francisco salesman struggling to build a future for himself and his 5-year-old son Christopher (Jaden Smith). When his girlfriend Linda (Thandie Newton) walks out\, Chris is left to raise Christopher on his own. Chris’ determination finally pays off when he lands an unpaid internship in a brutally competitive stockbroker-training program\, where only one in twenty interns will make the cut. But Chris and his son are evicted from their apartment and are forced to sleep on the streets\, in homeless shelters and even behind the locked doors of a metro station bathroom. With self-confidence and the love and trust of his son\, Chris Gardner rises above his obstacles to become a Wall Street legend. \nThe real-life inspiration for the movie\, Chris Gardner\, will speak at the shelter’s annual FOOD • SHELTER • HOPE fundraising event on Thursday\, April 18 at the Riviera Theater. A reception and live auction will follow. Individual tickets are $150 and VIP tickets (two tickets to the VIP reception and event) are $500.

Following the races\, awards will be presented for the top runners\, and all participants will be invited to take part in a post-race party featuring live music and complimentary food and beverages. \nOnline registration for the Mullet Haul Trail Run is open now through March 1 at www.ccprc.com/mullethaul. Late registration and packet pickup will be available on site on race day\, March 2\, from 8 – 9:30 a.m. T-shirts are available for those who register by Feb. 22. \nThe Mullet Haul is for ages 10 and older.
