COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH, AP) -- Gov. Nikki Haley is hitting the road to talk about her first 100 days in office Monday with stops planned in Orangeburg and Aiken.
Haley is scheduled to attend the swearing-in ceremony at South Carolina State University for Kela Thomas, the new director of the state Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services. Thomas will become Haley's only African-American cabinet member.
State Rep. Bakari Sellers (D-Bamberg) criticized the governor on his Twitter account Monday morning for holding the swearing in at the historically black college S.C. State. Sellers described the choice of venue as a "calculated political move" that is "disengenuous at best." Sellers' father Cleveland was a prominent activist during the Civil Rights era and was a participant in the 1968 Orangeburg Massacre at S.C. State during which S.C. Highway Patrol officers fired into an unarmed crowd killing three people protesting against segregation.
In addition to complaints about cabinet selections, Haley has also been criticized for dropping top University of South Carolina donor Darla Moore from the school's board. However, Gov. Haley also scored an early victory by delivering on her signature issue of requiring recorded votes in the General Assembly.
