The SC Progressive Network invites you to join us on Thursday, Dec. 5, for our 10th annual birthday party to honor the life and legacy of human rights icon Modjeska Monteith Simkins.

The drop-in at our new HQ — 1340 Elmwood Ave., downtown Columbia — begins at 5:30 with cake and port (Modjeska’s favorite) and live music by sax master Ken Cheeks.

At 6:30, our friends at Historic Columbia will lead a tour of the newly renovated Modjeska Simkins House next door.

The evening will conclude with testimonials from Modjeska Simkins School graduates. Children are welcome.
