I have had many conversations with Dorothy and being a part of this organization meant a lot to her. She truly inspired and motivated me and reminded me that God is in control and everything will be all right. May the work she’s done speak for her and she is at peace.

<font size="6">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.<br><br>David Houck</font> <br>
