DEAR BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS:
WE ATTENDED THE FUNERAL OF ADE A. OFUNNIYIN ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2020 IN BRITTLEBANK PARK, CHARLESTON, SC. IT WAS A MOVING AFRICAN YORUBA CELEBRATION OF LIFE CEREMONY.
THE MAYOR CAM TO READ A PROCDLAMATION IN ADE'S HONOR AND CALLED ADE "THE AMBASSADOR OF CHARLESTON". OTHER DIGNITARIES SPOKE IN ADE'S REMEMBRANCE AND HONOR. IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT ADE WAS LOVED AND RESPECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF CHARLESTON AND ITS ENVIRONS.

THE INTERVIEW WAS MODERATED BY ERIC SEGAL. THE GUESTS WERE DR. JODY BERMAN, DR. ADE A. OFUNNIYIN, AND, YAW OWUSU SHANGOFEMI. SEE THE LINK BELOW. CURATOR OF AFRICAN COLLECTION: SUSAN COOKSEY. LITTLE DID WE KNOW THAT ALMOST THREE MONTHS LATER ADE WOULD NO LONGER BE AMONG THE LIVING.
PLEASE ATTEND THIS EXHIBIT, IF YOU HAVE A BIT OF EXTRA TIME BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER 29TH.
