During last night's City Council meeting, Mayor Roslyn White presented a proclamation recognizing Gladys Coleman Briggs for her generosity and commitment to preserving an important part of Abbeville's history.
Located at the corner of Greene Street and I.J. Joiner, "The Stump" has long served as a gathering place within the community. Councilman-at-Large Carlton Campbell explained that the site traces its roots to the historic Stump Sermons, where speeches and sermons were delivered when no podium or public building was available. Over the years, it became a place where community members gathered to share messages, ideas, and fellowship.
Campbell also noted that the site continues to hold significance today as the location of annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day observances, where residents gather to honor Dr. King's legacy and hear speeches that inspire reflection, unity, and community engagement.
The proclamation recognizes Ms. Briggs for allowing a portion of her property to remain home to this historic landmark, helping ensure that an important piece of Abbeville's heritage can continue to be appreciated by future generations.
The City of Abbeville extends its sincere appreciation to Gladys Coleman Briggs for her community spirit, generosity, and dedication to preserving a place that continues to bring people together.
Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition.
