On what would have been his 100th birthday, friends and family of James E. Campbell gathered at the Avery Research Center in Charleston on July 31 to mark his extraordinary life with a day of teachings, discussions, and remembrances. Surely, he would have approved.

Campbell was a longtime member of the SC Progressive Network, and was among the first to receive the organization’s Thunder and Lightning Award, in 1998. He served as a mentor to many and an inspiration to all who had the pleasure to work with him.
