Packet Sea Foam: Newly ordained deacon's faith rooted in Lowcountry

Thanks to Vernie Singleton of Hilton Head Island for sharing the story with deep island roots.

"A MISSION OF FAITH, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY"

By Vernie Singleton

Congratulations to the Rev. Afrika Latrice Campbell, daughter of Solomon "Sol" and Della Campbell of Spanish Wells on Hilton Head Island. Latrice, a second-grade teacher at Hilton Head Island International Elementary School, was ordained as a deacon at the African Methodist Episcopal Church's Seventh Episcopal District annual conference at the historical Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston on Sept. 23. She hopes to seek full pastorship by receiving a master's of divinity degree.

This dual mission of ministry and education is anchored in history and tradition.

Latrice now mirrors the walk of her great-grandfather, the Rev. Solomon C. Campbell Sr., born on Hilton Head Island in 1874. He pastored at Beach City Road's First African Baptist Church, established in 1862.

And like his great-granddaughter, the Rev. Solomon Campbell was in the early 1900s also a school teacher on Hilton Head. He attended the present day South Carolina State University in Orangeburg and is recognized as one of the island's most dedicated black educators. According to his grandson, Solomon, he routinely rowed a bateau from Brams Point across Broad Creek to reach his students at Braddock Point, now Harbour Town.

The Rev. Solomon Campbell's students included the late transportation and community-service icon, Charlie Simmons Sr., who at age 99 died in 2005. He also taught in the Chaplin community. It was there that Henry Driessen, a business owner, board member of the Palmetto Electric Cooperative and member of the first Town of Hilton Head Island Town Council, benefited from his instruction. So did my father, the late Diogenese Singleton, an entrepreneur and school teacher.

EDUCATION

Teaching and the ministry were among the most accessible and respected professions open to blacks in the segregated United States during the 20th century. Opportunities were especially limited on isolated Hilton Head, but the island community of farmers, fishermen and skilled artisans survived by living off the land after having spent generations as slaves creating wealth for others with their labor and ingenuity.

There may be an inner pulse that stimulates a follower to the ministry, but Della and Solomon believe that their daughter was spiritually motivated early in life by her two grandmothers, Margaret Campbell and Minerva Hunter. Both helped raise her.
