To the editor:
It felt like S.C. hit rock bottom after the northern war of aggression in the 19th century. Still, we bounced back like a yo-yo when we took heed that we were not where we needed to be.
Today with have beacons of hope for the Palmetto State through Gov. Nikki Haley and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott [with] Haley being the first Asian-American female governor in the Americas and Scott being the first black in the U.S. to be selected by the people to serve in both areas of our legislative branch.
There is nothing we can be than to be happy for them and honor them like they have earned. These are achievements that our rugrats, grown-ups and geriatrics will spend their lives with. Erecting sculptures on our government grounds in this state or nation is the most appropriate thing we can do to give them kudos. God didn’t make us to hate; he taught us how to love. I would ask the S.C. Statehouse and U.S. Congress to formally start the planning on making this happen for these great leaders.
— Jordan Cooper, Columbia, S.C.
