Omar Muhammad has been selected by the Charleston Post and Courier as one of this year’s “12 Black Leaders to Know in South Carolina.” Post and Courier reporter Adam Parker explains that to produce this list “The newspaper reaches out to numerous sources, Black and White, seeking their input and recommendations.
