The 11-foot, 3-ton marble statue will be on display for public viewing on North Main Street East for the day to give community members the opportunity to view Bethune\u2019s statue before it continues its journey to Washington, D.C.\n\nBorn to former slaves in 1875 on a plantation in Mayesville, Bethune would go on to become one of the country\u2019s most influential educators and civil rights leaders. Florida selected Bethune to replace a Confederate General as part of the National Statuary Hall Collection, representing the state where she founded Bethune-Cookman University. Each state sends two statues to the collection, and Bethune\u2019s addition is historic as she becomes the first Black person to be sent to the Capitol from a state.\n\n\u201cSoon, the statue of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune will depart Daytona Beach, Florida \u2013 her home where she founded Bethune-Cookman University. As she makes her way to her place of honor in the United States Capitol, it is fitting that Dr. Bethune be honored in her birthplace of Mayesville, South Carolina. This Homecoming will give South Carolinians an opportunity to admire the beauty of the historic sculpture and reflect upon the magnificence of her life. The visit to Mayesville has been a dream I have shared with my friend, Congressman Jim Clyburn. I appreciate the work it took to coordinate this stop in Mayesville so that South Carolinians can share in the celebration of her life,\u201d Representative Castor said.\n\n\u201cI was pleased to work with Congresswoman Kathy Castor of Florida and the Town of Mayesville to bring the statue of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune to her birthplace, and I thank Wells Fargo and the Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Statuary Fund, Inc. for helping us honor her at home in this way,\u201d said Congressman Clyburn. \u201cAs a young child, my mother revered Dr. Bethune, and had me learn all that I could about her. It was her roots in South Carolina that fueled her passion for education and enabled her to serve as a counselor to U.S. Presidents and a tremendous advocate for the Black community. I spearheaded the effort to have her portrait in the South Carolina Statehouse in the 1970s, and 50 years later, I look forward to welcoming her statue to the halls of Congress.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis moment in history would not have been possible if it were not for our esteemed Congressman and Majority Whip, James E.

As one of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune\u2019s family descendants and Mayor of her birthplace, seeing her statue move from her college, Bethune-Cookman University with a stop at her birthplace, is truly an inspiration of God Himself.

This was especially true in South Carolina after many rural and disadvantaged communities suffered significant losses during the 2015 100-year flood,\u201d said Congressman Clyburn. \u201cI am pleased to join this effort to ensure low-income communities are not discriminated against in the allocation of disaster recovery funding merely because their damages don\u2019t meet an arbitrary minimum dollar amount.\u201d\n\n\u201cSouth Carolina faced challenges with how the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) allocations were weighted during past disasters, such as after Hurricane Florence. Currently, the HUD formulas favor large counties and discriminate against small counties, regardless of damages sustained during a major disaster,\u201d said Congressman Rice. \u201cI\u2019m proud to work across the aisle with Congressman Clyburn on this important correction that will better help disadvantaged areas of South Carolina receive our due federal disaster funding in the future.\u201d\n\n\u201cCommunities across our nation face unique challenges in the aftermath of natural disasters.

Many millions more will come to the state through competitive grants included in this legislation.\n\nCongressman Clyburn helped broker the deal to pass this historic bipartisan infrastructure package in the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday. All House Republican members representing South Carolina voted against approving these federal investments for the state. Only one of two South Carolina Senators voted for the package in the Senate.\n\nThese infrastructure investments are critical to South Carolina. The American Society of Civil Engineers gave the state a C- grade on its infrastructure report card.

In addition to funds to expand high-speed broadband coverage, the bill requires an affordable option to be offered along the newly built networks and invests in projects to facilitate internet adoption.

He is creator of the Rural Energy Savings Program enacted in 2014, which allows homeowners to borrow money from their local electric cooperatives to improve the energy efficiency of their homes. As homeowners pay back the loan on their utility bill, the cost of the loan is often covered by the energy savings they realize from the upgrades. In this area, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act includes:\n\n$3.5 billion for the Weatherization Assistance Program\n\n$550 for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program\n\n$250 million for the Assisting Federal Facilities with Energy Conservation Technologies (AFFECT) grant program\n\nThe Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act also includes $12 billion for flood mitigation, $17 billion for port infrastructure, and $55 billion for clean drinking water, all of which will meet needs that are pressing for our state.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:30:49Z"], ["https://clyburn.house.gov/congressman-clyburn-announces-more-than-15-million-for-construction-and-capital-improvements-of-south-carolina-community-health-centers/", "CONGRESSMAN CLYBURN ANNOUNCES MORE THAN $15 MILLION FOR CONSTRUCTION AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS OF SOUTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS", "2021-10-13", "2021", "2021-10", "Democrat", "House", "SC", "James E.

Clyburn today issued the following statement on federal rental assistance and the need to extend the eviction moratorium:\n\n\u201cDue to the surging delta variant and the need to give some states more time to deliver federal rental assistance funds, I am joining my colleagues in House Democratic Leadership calling on the Biden Administration to extend the CDC eviction moratorium into October. Studies show that evictions increase the spread of the coronavirus infections and deaths. With the increase in cases caused by the delta variant, the CDC should extend the eviction moratorium to protect public health. Congress has appropriated over $46 billion in rental assistance funds to keep people in their homes, but many state and local governments say they need more to time to disburse those funds to landlords and renters. By June 30, only $3 billion of that $46 billion had been disbursed. But extending the Moratorium is not all that is needed. Some State and local governments have been setting up rental assistance programs from scratch. According to the Census Bureau, as of June 2021, 7.8 million people were behind on their rent. The economic crisis caused by the pandemic has caused great hardship. In some states, it has disproportionately impacted communities of color, and made many renters vulnerable to eviction. As of June 30:\n\nSouth Carolina had disbursed almost none of the $500 million in rental assistance allocated for the state.\n\nFlorida has only disbursed $1.5 million in rental assistance out of $1.6 billion allocated for the state.\n\nGeorgia disbursed only $8.4 million of the $1 billion in rental assistance allocated for the state.\n\nSadly, certain large corporate landlords have taken advantage of families during this time and the Select Subcommittee that I chair is investigating this. In July, I sent letters to Pretium Partners, Invitation Homes, Ventron Management, and the Siegel Group to determine whether they are cooperating with rental assistance programs to avoid evictions, and whether they have complied with the CDC eviction moratorium. These companies, together, have filed for at least 5,000 evictions during the pandemic. In addition to extending the moratorium, we must hold bad corporate landlords accountable. I urge them to work with tenants to access federal rental assistance funds as an alternative to eviction. Some states and localities have disbursed funds relatively well, including Virginia ($220 million), Texas ($616 million), Illinois ($172 million), Massachusetts ($118 million), Houston-Harris County, Texas ($137 million), Cook County, Illinois ($39 million).The success of these programs shows that slow-distributing states can dramatically improve.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:11:17Z"], ["https://clyburn.house.gov/congressman-clyburn-secures-more-than-40-million-in-community-project-funding-for-sc-06-in-house-passed-appropriations-package/", "CONGRESSMAN CLYBURN SECURES MORE THAN $40 MILLION IN COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING FOR SC-06 IN HOUSE-PASSED APPROPRIATIONS PACKAGE", "2021-07-30", "2021", "2021-07", "Democrat", "House", "SC", "James E.

This fact sheet details the number of bridges and miles of roads in South Carolina that are in disrepair, the percentage of households without access to broadband, the billions of dollars required for water infrastructure, and more. These pressing needs underscore the importance of the American Jobs Plan, President Biden\u2019s proposal to make historic investments to improve the nation\u2019s infrastructure and put millions of people back to work.\n\n\u201cThe American Jobs Plan will help all South Carolina communities meet their 21st Century challenges,\u201d said Congressman Clyburn. \u201cI am especially pleased that this plan commits significant resources to lower energy costs and end digital deserts, consistent with my Accessible, Affordable Internet for All Act. Just as rural electrification brought millions of homes into the 20th century, the American Jobs Plan will bring high-speed, affordable broadband to millions of homes in the 21st century.\u201d\n\nThe American Society of Civil Engineers 2021 Infrastructure Report Card cited many deficiencies facing South Carolina that require immediate attention.

This initiative will reenergize our stagnant economy as we begin to recover from the pandemic, and lay the foundation for future economic growth and help ensure our nation\u2019s global competitiveness for decades to come.\n\n\u201cI am proud to support the American Jobs Plan, which will help repair some faults of the past and help ensure that communities of color are not left out of these transformative investments in our infrastructure,\u201d continued Congressman Clyburn. \u201cThis is a once-in-a-generation chance to create millions of good-paying jobs which will grow our economy and benefit all communities equitably.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:42:19Z"], ["https://clyburn.house.gov/congressman-clyburn-to-visit-rural-covid-19-mass-vaccination-mobile-clinic/", "CONGRESSMAN CLYBURN TO VISIT RURAL COVID-19 MASS VACCINATION MOBILE CLINIC", "2021-04-07", "2021", "2021-04", "Democrat", "House", "SC", "James E.

Meetings for Black citizens were also held to help prepare them to register and vote.\n\nSouth Carolina: Harden Street Substation\n\nThe Harden Street Substation is significant for its strong association with segregation in Columbia. Its construction and the subsequent desegregation of the Columbia Fire Department were evidence of gradual racial change, the direct result of African American political organizing, civil rights litigation and direct-action protest throughout the 1940s and 1950s.\n\nSouth Carolina: Equalization Schools Website\n\nThe South Carolina Equalization Schools website tells the story of a sustained political, economic, and social effort to maintain segregated public schools in the state. This program was the first time South Carolina provided any significant funding to its African American public schools.
