BILL OF RIGHTS CELEBRATION AT THE STATE HOUSE
Secretary Miles Will Lead Ceremony

(Columbia)--Secretary of State Jim Miles will be the keynote speaker and Honorary Chairman at The Bill of Rights Celebration, marking the second annual Bill of Rights Day in South Carolina, to be held on Saturday, December 15, at 11:00 am on the South Side of the Capitol on Pendleton Street.

“Never before have we felt the empowerment of our Bill of Rights as we do now in the aftermath of the events of September 11,” said Secretary Miles. “The beliefs espoused by the terrorists involved in the recent tragedies are in direct contrast to the values upheld in The Bill of Rights, which guarantees fundamental civil and human rights: the freedoms of speech, press, assembly, and religion; protections against unreasonable searches and coerced confessions; rights to counsel and a jury trial.”

The Boy Scouts of America will read The Bill of Rights. Representatives from the Cities of Greenville, Orangeburg, and several other cities will read proclamations. In addition, leaders of the Catawba Indian Nation will participate in the event and present proclamations. Entertainment will be provided by the First Baptist Church Children’s Choir.

The Boy Scout winner of The Bill of Rights essay competition and the $1,000 savings bond will also be announced. The public is invited to attend. In the event of inclement weather, the activities will be held in The State House Rotunda.
