The Lifelong Recreation group from the Dr. Iola Jones and Mordecai C. Johnson Community Centers travelled to Mayesville, SC for the Mayesville Historic Tour! They had the opportunity to meet the niece of Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, the educator and civil rights leader born there and featured in the Mayesville Historic Museum.
