COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina Black Expo -- an annual event intended to educate, enlighten and empower the community -- returns in 2021 but due to the pandemic, changes in the event's presentation were necessary.
"If there was ever a time Black Expo was needed in our community, it is now," says Darrin Thomas.
Darrin Thomas is the President of the 2021 Virtual South Carolina Black Expo.
For more 20 years, Black Expo has felt like a family reunion or homecoming, but COVID-19 has changed how the event reaches the African American community.
