1993 Wall of Fame Inductees
Delano Roosevelt Boulware - - Saxon Homes
1956-66
At the time of his induction, Delano Boulware was a cinematographer
and director for WRLK-TV, the public television station in Columbia.
He directed and filmed documentaries and formatted news specials. He
received the Communication for Excellence to Black Audiences Award for
his work. Boulware says, “Among some of the most important values
learned [growing up in Saxon Homes] were that you must give back to your
community
and never forget your beginnings.”
King Benjamin Lindbergh Jeffcoat - - Allen Benedict Court 1940-55
King Jeffcoat, who was principal at V.V. Reid Elementary School at
the time of
his induction, received his Master’s degree in Mathematics from Atlanta
University. He has served the City of Columbia in a variety of ways, and
in 1989, he was given the key to the City. However, Jeffcoat believes his
most
outstanding
achievements have been those in which he was able to serve the community
through Cub and Boy Scouts, his church, and recreational activities such
as little
league baseball.
