and future.
Sellers
Bakari Sellers made history in 2006 when, at just 22 years old, he defeated a 26-year incumbent State Representative to become the youngest member of the South Carolina state legislature and the youngest African American elected official in the nation. In 2014 he was the Democratic Nominee for Lt. Governor in the state of South Carolina.

Earning his undergraduate degree from Morehouse College, where he served as student body president, and his law degree from the University of South Carolina, Sellers has followed in the footsteps of his father, civil rights leader Cleveland Sellers, in his tireless commitment to championing progressive policies to address issues ranging from education and poverty to preventing domestic violence and childhood obesity

His impressive list of accomplishments in addition to having served on President Barack Obama’s South Carolina steering committee during the 2008 election, Sellers is widely considered to be a rising star within the Democratic Party and leading voice for his generation. That coupled with his uncommon ability to reach across the aisle and get things done has led to numerous accolades including being named to TIME Magazine’s 40 Under 40 in 2010 as well as 2014 and 2015 “The Root 100” list of the nation’s most influential African-Americans.

The Opportunity Project South Carolina seeks to provide a voice to the the voiceless and access to opportunity by opening doors in the areas of health, higher education, and civic engagement.

The Opportunity Project of South Carolina was formed because there is a clear need to build capacity in communities throughout South Carolina that address long-standing gaps across three quality-of-life areas: healthcare, education, and technology. In our view, these are the areas that sustain us, enlighten us, and connect us to the world. The Opportunity Project seeks to close those gaps through its own programming and capacity-building grants to organizations in South Carolina that are creating opportunities that seek to close these gaps between South Carolinians and the rest of the world.
