This Thursday, February 5, the Office of Institutional Diversity will be hosting a presentation by South Carolina Representative Bakari Sellers in celebration of 2015 Black History Month. Representative Sellers will present “How far have we come and where do we go from here?: A Journey to excellence….” at 5:00 pm in the Stern Center Ballroom. This event is free and open to the public.
In 2006, at the age 22, Sellers was elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives, making him the youngest black elected official in United States history. In addition to his impressive political career, Representative Sellers is a dedicated champion of civil rights, equality, education, and faith in the state and beyond.
