| https://clyburn.house.gov/congressman-clyburn-praises-passage-of-the-catawba-indian-nation-lands-act/ | CONGRESSMAN CLYBURN PRAISES PASSAGE OF THE CATAWBA INDIAN NATION LANDS ACT | 2021-12-27 | 2021 | 2021-12 | Democrat | House | SC | James E. Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | COLUMBIA, SC – Congressman James E. Clyburn praised the enactment of the Catawba Indian Nation Lands Act included in the National Defense Authorization Act signed into law by President Biden today. The Catawba Indian Nation Lands Act clarifies that the Catawba Indian Nation is subject to the well-established rules and regulations of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act on their modern and ancestral lands in the State of North Carolina. This new law clarifies the Tribe’s 1993 land claims settlement act and reaffirms recent action taken by the Department of Interior to take land into trust for the Tribe. “I was proud to work with my colleagues in the House and Senate to ensure passage of this bipartisan piece of legislation,” said Congressman Clyburn. “The Catawba Indian Nation Lands Act is a very significant step towards rectifying historic injustices that have been perpetrated against the Catawba Indian Nation. This legislation will be crucial in helping the Catawba Indian Nation secure economic self-sufficiency.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |

Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | COLUMBIA – Today, Congressman James E. Clyburn is reminding constituents that there is still time to sign up for affordable health insurance through the Affordable Care Act Marketplace until January 15, 2022. For coverage beginning January 1, individuals must enroll by December 15. Due to the work of Democrats in Congress, the recently enacted American Rescue Plan has made enrolling in quality health insurance through the Marketplace more affordable and accessible than ever. Because of these new changes, 80 percent of individuals and families are now able to find a quality plan for just under $10 a month and more people are eligible to buy subsidized health insurance through the marketplace. “COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on the health and wellbeing of our communities and has burdened many families with high medical costs. It is more important now than ever to ensure that families have access to quality, affordable health insurance,” said Congressman Clyburn. “When we passed the Affordable Care Act in 2010, our goal was to ensure all Americans have access to the health care they need. Under the American Rescue Plan, Democrats have continued this mission and have made health insurance more affordable than ever before. I encourage all South Carolinians in need of health insurance to visit the marketplace during open enrollment to get covered with an affordable plan today.” Additional information to know: | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |

MARY MCLEOD BETHUNE STATUE CEREMONY IN MAYESVILLE | 2021-12-10 | 2021 | 2021-12 | Democrat | House | SC | James E. Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | COLUMBIA – Next Friday, Congressman James E. Clyburn will help welcome Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune’s statue as it makes a stop in her hometown of Mayesville, South Carolina on its way to the U.S. Capitol. 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’s statue before it continues its journey to Washington, D.C. Born to former slaves in 1875 on a plantation in Mayesville, Bethune would go on to become one of the country’s 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’s addition is historic as she becomes the first Black person to be sent to the Capitol from a state. “Soon, the statue of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune will depart Daytona Beach, Florida – 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,” Representative Castor said. “I 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,” said Congressman Clyburn. “As a young child, my mother revered Dr. Bethune, and had me learn all that I could about … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |

Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | WASHINGTON – Representatives James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.) and Tom Rice (R-S.C.) this week introduced legislation to revise the standards for eligibility for U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) grants for communities after major disasters. This legislation corrects an imbalance in the standards for an area to be considered as having suffered sufficient concentrated damages following a disaster from a minimum threshold dollar amount to any zip code for which the median household income is less than 75 percent of the national median household income. “It is often in times of crisis that inequities in our country are most pronounced. This was especially true in South Carolina after many rural and disadvantaged communities suffered significant losses during the 2015 100-year flood,” said Congressman Clyburn. “I 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’t meet an arbitrary minimum dollar amount.” “South 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,” said Congressman Rice. “I’m 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.” “Communities across our nation face unique challenges in the aftermath of natural disasters. Modifying the CDBG-DR funding methodology is a great step towards more equitable recovery funding particularly in our state’s rural counties,” said South Carolina Chief Resilience Officer Benjamin I. Duncan II. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |

Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | COLUMBIA- South Carolina will receive more than $6 billion in direct allocations through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that will soon be signed into law by President Biden. Many millions more will come to the state through competitive grants included in this legislation. Congressman 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. These infrastructure investments are critical to South Carolina. The American Society of Civil Engineers gave the state a C- grade on its infrastructure report card. Receiving the transformational investment of more than $6 billion will create jobs, improve the quality of life for South Carolinians, and make strides to address climate change. “The path to progress is never easy, but it is necessary if we are to continue our efforts to make America’s greatness accessible and affordable for all,” Congressman Clyburn said. “This a is long-overdue and essential investment in our nation’s infrastructure, and it begins to expand our definition of infrastructure beyond traditional roads and bridges, water and sewer, and ports and airports.” Based on formula funding in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, South Carolina can expect to receive the following allocations over the next five years: $4.6 billion to maintain federal highways $274 million to replace and repair bridges $510 million to improve water infrastructure $161 million to upgrade airports $366 million to improve public transportation $70 million to support the expansion of an EV charging network $100 million at minimum to expand high-speed broadband infrastructure, with additional funds provided based on the number of unserved locations in the state $18.3 million to protect against cyberattacks “This legislation goes a… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:30:49Z |

Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | COLUMBIA – Today, Congressman James E. Clyburn announced that the Department of Health and Human Services has awarded more than $15 million to 21 community health centers in South Carolina. These Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awards will be used to fund capital improvements and construction costs for facilities in communities disproportionally affected by COVID-19. These funds, made available through the American Rescue Plan legislation passed by Democrats and signed by President Biden in March, will be crucial to improving South Carolina’s healthcare infrastructure and will help ensure that all South Carolinians have access to state-of-the-art medical facilities. “These resources championed by President Biden and Congressional Democrats are an investment in making health care more accessible and affordable for all,” said Congressman James E. Clyburn. “Throughout the pandemic these facilities have been lifelines to many communities across the state by providing patients with free and low-cost access to testing, vaccines and treatment. As we begin to emerge from the devastation of this virus, these funds will ensure that individuals in rural and underrepresented communities have access to high quality healthcare in expanded and modernized health centers.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:24:51Z |

Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | COLUMBIA, SC – Today, Congressman James E. Clyburn praised the appointment of Dr. Saundra Glover as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) South Carolina State Director of Rural Development and Laurie Funderburk as the USDA South Carolina Farm Service Agency Executive Director. “I want to thank President Biden for accepting my recommendations and making these outstanding appointments to the South Carolina offices of the USDA,” said Congressman Clyburn. “Dr. Glover and Ms. Funderburk have led distinguished careers, and I am confident their extensive backgrounds and experiences working with rural and farming communities will allow them to continue to serve this state well.” Dr. Glover is the former Vice President for Research and Economic Development at South Carolina State University and distinguished Professor Emerita at the University of South Carolina. During her career, she has demonstrated a deep commitment to the advancement of economic development in rural South Carolina. She exhibits a wealth of experience in closing racially-based health outcome gaps, developing comprehensive socio-economic policies, and addressing the disparities that limited-resource farmers face when impacted by natural disasters. She is a graduate of South Carolina State University and received her MBA and Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:24:51Z |

Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | COLUMBIA, SC – Today, Congressman James E. Clyburn praised the findings of a new report from the Joint Economic Committee which estimates that 577,000 Child Tax Credit payments were sent to families in South Carolina in the month of August. A total of $245.8 million in tax cuts went back into the pockets of hardworking families across the state. These monthly Child Tax Credit payments were enacted into law by Democrats in Congress to help families recover from the throes of the pandemic and to help alleviate some of the high costs of childcare. Not a single Republican member of Congress voted for this historic tax cut for working families. “When we passed the American Rescue Plan in March, we called it a rescue plan for a reason,” said Congressman James E. Clyburn. “These Child Tax Credit payments have been a lifeline to many families across South Carolina and have enabled them to pay for basic needs such as transportation, food, and school expenses for their children. We ought to build on the tremendous progress we have made for families and extend the tax cut for families with children.” The American Rescue Plan (ARP) dramatically increased the value of the Child Tax Credit from $2,000 per child to up to $3,600 per child under six and $3,000 per child six and older. The ARP also expanded the Child Tax Credit so that it is now fully refundable, and previously ineligible low-income families are receiving the full credit. The average payment per South Carolina household was $426. The new report also estimates that the expanded Child Tax Credit is generating over $19 billion in local economic activity each month nationwide, supporting local businesses and jobs.

Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | COLUMBIA, SC – Today, Congressman James E. Clyburn announced the National Park Service has awarded a new round of $9.7 million in historic preservation grants to 19 Historically Black Colleges and Universities across 10 states, including two in South Carolina. Funding for these awards were made available through the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Historic Preservation program, which Congressman Clyburn has championed since he began his career in Congress to renovate historic buildings and structures on HBCU campuses. In 2019, Congressman Clyburn was instrumental in getting language included in the Natural Resources Management Act to reauthorize the program within the U.S. Department of Interior and ensure it’s funding until 2025. To date, the HBCU Historic Preservation program has awarded over $60 million in grants to over 80 HBCUs. “This funding is a clear example of the Biden Administration’s commitment to Historically Black Colleges and Universities and to improving the lives of minority students across the country,” said Congressman Clyburn. “These awards build on the Administration’s historic debt elimination for HBCU capital loans and will help restore and preserve buildings on these two campuses to ensure students have safe and adequate facilities in which to learn and excel.” Benedict College and South Carolina State University will receive $1.5 million in this round of HBCU grant awards. Benedict College will receive a total of $1 million, which will be split equally to renovate Antisdel Chapel and Duckett Hall. The chapel renovation project will repair stained-glass windows and pews as well as renovate the floors and paint the exterior and interior of the building. This award will also help fund repairs to Antisdel Chapel’s electrical infrastructure, lighting (interior and exterior), roof, plaster walls, plumbing, and HVAC system.

Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | Columbia, SC – Congressman James E. Clyburn today issued the following statement on federal rental assistance and the need to extend the eviction moratorium: “Due 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: South Carolina had disbursed almost none of the $500 million in rental assistance allocated for the state. Florida has only disbursed $1.5 million in rental assistance out of $1.6 billion allocated for the state. Georgia disbursed only $8.4 million of the $1 billion in rental assistance allocated for the state. Sadly, 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, a… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:11:17Z |

This funding was included in a minibus spending bill that passed the House today. This appropriations package includes seven of the 12 fiscal year 2022 funding bills—Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education; Interior, and Environment; Energy and Water Development; Agriculture, Rural Development, and Food and Drug Administration; Financial Services and General Government; Military Construction and Veterans Affairs; and Transportation and Housing and Urban Development—and follows Wednesday’s passage of two others—Legislative Branch and State and Foreign Operations. “This legislation will enable the federal government to better serve the American people. This bill makes significant investments in low-income and middle-class communities that have been devastated in the last year and will create jobs and economic opportunity,” said Congressman Clyburn. “I am pleased that nine of my community project funding requests were included in this legislation that will invest in critical priorities while targeting many of those investments in persistent poverty communities. These projects are essential to the communities I serve, and I will keep fighting to get them enacted into law.” Congressman Clyburn secured funding for these community funding priorities in this FY 2022 appropriation minibus legislation: Project Sponsor Description Location Funding Received Lakes Marion and Moultrie, SC, Sec 219(f)(25) WRDA 1992 (P.L. 102 – 580), as amended by Sec 502 WRDA 1999 (P.L. 106 – 53), Appendix D, Division B, Sec US Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District Water infrastructure project for the Orangeburg-Berkeley Reach, which would pro… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:03:51Z |

Clyburn will kick off his Help is Here Town Hall Tour to discuss how American Rescue Plan provisions benefit families and communities in the Sixth Congressional District. These benefits include the expanded Child Tax Credit, which will provide qualified parents with advanced monthly payments of up to $300 per child starting on July 15. The IRS will have representatives at each town hall to assist attendees with accessing their Child Tax Credit payments. Additionally, Congressman Clyburn will highlight increased Affordable Care Act subsidies and the need to close the Medicaid coverage gap in non-expansion states, which will help district residents access affordable health care. “We are emerging from a very difficult period in our nation’s history. The challenges of COVID-19 required Congress to double down on behalf of the American people,” said Congressman Clyburn. “These town halls will give me the opportunity to hear from my constituents about their concerns and inform them of the numerous resources made available by Democrats through the passage of the American Rescue Plan. We have made tremendous progress in the last six months, but we must continue the great work to ensure we make America’s greatness accessible and affordable for all.” To expand access to the vaccine, Congressman Clyburn has partnered with local community health centers to provide vaccinations to all eligible South Carolinians at each town hall site. As Chair of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, Congressman Clyburn encourages all South Carolinians to get vaccinated to protect against the deadly virus. Vaccinations begin at 4:30 P.M. Each town hall begins at 6:00 P.M. Below is a list of all the town hall meeting dates and locations: Tuesday, July 6, 2021 Lakeside Community Center 153 James L.

Clyburn announced that the U.S. House of Representatives has approved $20 million to fund several highway and transit projects in the Sixth Congressional District.

Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | (Columbia, SC) – Today, Congressman James E. Clyburn announced that the South Carolina Department of Commerce will receive $25 million in federal funding. These funds will be allocated to the department’s Palmetto Railways division to build approximately 22.7 miles of new track and related facilities to connect the Camp Hall Commerce Park in Ridgeville, South Carolina to the CSX multi-state rail network. The funding for the new rail line will support the delivery of raw materials to the Volvo manufacturing plant and the transportation of finished vehicles to other parts of the country. “With Volvo’s plans to expand their operations at the Ridgeville manufacturing campus and build a new electric SUV, it is crucial that they have the necessary railway infrastructure to meet their global demand,” said Congressman Clyburn. “This investment to the Palmetto Railways division will help build on the thousands of existing jobs in the region and allow for further economic growth and job opportunities.” “I’d personally like to thank Representative Clyburn for his leadership in supporting the INFRA application by Palmetto Railways for the Camp Hall Rail Project,” said South Carolina Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt. “This new rail infrastructure will support not only thousands of new and existing jobs, but also complement the ongoing effort to increase employment opportunities in, and attract taxable investment to, rural South Carolina. Investing in infrastructure, with a focus on sustainability, is key to ensuring our state’s economic competitiveness and will provide direct and tangible benefits to South Carolina’s Lowcountry.” This funding was made available through a U.S. Department of Transportation discretionary grant award. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z |

These funds were secured as part of the American Rescue Plan, which was passed by Congressional Democrats without any Republican support to provide relief from the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The legislation was signed into law by President Biden in March. “As we begin to recover from this pandemic and parents start to return to work, it is essential that our children have the necessary childcare, education and nutrition services to ensure their success,” said Congressman Clyburn. “This significant investment will help low income and rural communities across South Carolina and will allow Head Start to continue the great work they have done for the past 56 years.” Below is a list of funds allocated for Head Start programs across South Carolina: Grantee ARP Amount Congressional District Served Berkeley County School District $738,241 SC01 SC06 Beaufort Jasper Economic Opportunity Commission, Inc. $668,844 SC01 SC06 Carolina Community Actions, Inc. $838,747 SC05 Vital Connections of the Midlands, Inc. $95,720 SC06 GLEAMNS Human Resources Commission, Inc. $1,914,400 SC02 SC03 SC05 SC06 Lancaster County School District $242,890 SC05 Waccamaw Economic Opportunity Council, Inc. $769,350 SC06 SC07 Richland County First Steps $178,279 SC02 SC06 Piedmont Community Action, Inc. $835,157 SC04 SC05 Aiken County Public School District $459,456 SC02 Pee Dee Community Action Partnership $1,036,169 SC06 SC07 Charleston County First Steps $114,864 SC01 SC06 Wateree Community Actions, Inc. $1,117,531 SC05 SC06 South Carolina Association of Community Action Partnerships $303,911 SC01 SC02 SC03 SC05 SC06 SC07 Sunbelt Human Advancement Resources, Inc. $1,599,721 SC03 SC04 Charleston County School District (Inc) $1,197,697 SC01 SC06 East Coast Migrant Head Start Project $3,155,171 SC 05 SC06 Lancaster County First Steps to School Readiness Partnership $86,148 SC05 Orangeb… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z |

Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | (Washington, D.C.) U.S. House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn is reminding all South Carolinians that the major expansion of the Child Tax Credit for 2021 included in the American Rescue Plan will begin distributing monthly checks in July. Nearly 136,000 children in South Carolina’s 6th Congressional District will benefit from this historic tax relief for working families. “The expanded Child Tax Credit is expected to cut child poverty nearly in half and help families all across the country recover from the economic devastation of the pandemic,” Congressman Clyburn said. “This investment in working families will provide the means necessary to make ends meet and put their children on the path to success.” The full amount of the expanded Child Tax Credit—available for households filing jointly with incomes up to $150,000 and single parents with incomes up to $112,500—is $3,600 for every child under 6 years old and $3,000 for every child ages 6-17. Starting July 15, these households will receive $300 or $250 every month for each child in those respective age ranges; the remainder of the credit can be claimed when filing 2021 tax returns early next year. Families who filed tax returns for 2019 or 2020 or filled out the IRS Non-filers tool last year to receive an Economic Impact Payment, will get this tax relief automatically. Families who neither filed a tax return for 2019 or 2020 nor used the IRS Non-Filers tool should go online and use the IRS Child Tax Credit Non-filer Sign-up Tool to sign up today. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z |

Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | (Columbia, SC) – Today, Congressman James E. Clyburn released new White House data highlighting the urgency of addressing critical infrastructure needs across South Carolina. 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’s proposal to make historic investments to improve the nation’s infrastructure and put millions of people back to work. “The American Jobs Plan will help all South Carolina communities meet their 21st Century challenges,” said Congressman Clyburn. “I 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.” The American Society of Civil Engineers 2021 Infrastructure Report Card cited many deficiencies facing South Carolina that require immediate attention. Below are some key statistics on infrastructure needs in the Palmetto State: 12% of households do not have access to broadband 3,780 miles of road and 745 bridges are in disrepair 19% of trains and other transit vehicles in the state are past their useful life 267,000 renters pay more than 30% of their income in rent due to shortages in affordable housing units South Carolina needs $6.1 billion in modernization costs to ensure safe drinking water 34% of families have few or no childcare options in their communities, preventing parents from joining the workforce 402,000 veterans in South Carolina rely on VA facilities, which have been chronically underfunded – leading to longer waits and lower quality care An average low-income family in South Carolina currentl… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:42:19Z |

Rural communities and communities of color have been disproportionally affected by the current public health crisis. That is why I have been vocal in my support of mobile sites for testing and vaccination. Many of these communities also lack access to reliable internet service, which is why we have chosen not to require appointments for these sites.

Clyburn announced that the National Park Service (NPS) will add four South Carolina resources to the African American Civil Rights Network (AACRN). The Waverly Historic District, St. George Rosenwald School, Harden Street Substation and Equalization Schools Website are among the network’s properties, facilities, and interpretive programs that present a comprehensive narrative of the people, places, and events associated with the African American Civil Rights movement. “As Black History Month comes to an end, I am pleased to see the National Park Service add these four important resources to their African American Civil Rights Network. Studying and understanding our nation’s history is a vital step towards a more perfect union,” said Congressman Clyburn. “I encourage others to take advantage of all that this network has to offer. We ought not just focus on Black history one month a year. Every month should be an opportunity to learn about the experiences of past leaders whose shoulders we all stand upon.” South Carolina: Waverly Historic District Established shortly after the Civil War, Waverly Historic District is significant as Columbia’s first suburb, incorporated into Columbia city limits in 1913. The former site of Waverly Five & Dime, one of several establishments operated by entrepreneur and political activist George Elmore, is located here. South Carolina: St. George Rosenwald School In the 1960s, the Rosenwald School building served as a meeting and training site for civil rights workers in the Dorchester County Civil Rights Movement. Meetings for Black citizens were also held to help prepare them to register and vote.
