Rebuilding their old alma mater

Efforts on MB Colored School mirror state trendBy Emma RitchThe Sun News Nina Eaddy hasn't been inside her alma mater for years. She was one of its first students in 1933 and valedictorian around 1940.

Eaddy, 84, hasn't visited in a while because her four-room school - the first school for black children in Myrtle Beach - was disassembled and is waiting in a warehouse to be rebuilt. But Eaddy won't have to wait much longer to visit one of Horry County's remaining pieces of black history.
