[NFBofSC] Dorothy Barksdale passes

[David Houck]

I have just received word that longtime Columbia Chapter member,
Dorothy Barksdale has passed. She was the first African-American to
join the NFB of SC about 5 decades ago. She also served as Secretary
for the Columbia Chapter, Federation Center of the Blind, NFB of SC
state board and the Rocky Bottom board. As Chairperson of the We Care
Committee, Dorothy Barksdale cared for many of our members and others.
She also was recognized on the Columbia Housing Authority's Wall of
Fame. She will need to be replaced for the upcoming Devotional and
Memorial Service at the state convention. Please keep her family and
friends in your prayers.

David Houck
