Greenwood seeks new path after memorial plaque change attempt
Greenwood mayor Welborn Adams raised $20,000 for new World War I and II plaques on the American Legion memorial on Main Street to list soldiers alphabetically. A South Carolina law requiring two thirds legislature approval to alter war monuments blocked the change, fueling a potential court dispute over removing or relocating the segregated memorial and broader Confederate symbols debates. Schulze and Adams pledge to press on despite opposition and legal hurdles.
