Tags: OrangeChat

Family, friends and community leaders from around Chapel Hill will honor the late Rebecca Sellars Clark with a funeral service on Friday at 1 p.m. at the Chapel Hill Bible Church at 260 Erwin Road, Chapel Hill. Her body will be on view from 11 a.m. until the service begins.

Clark, 93, worked her way out of poverty and segregation to become a voice for the local black community, a labor advocate at UNC-Chapel Hill and a political organizer. 

In lieu of flowers, her surviving son John Clark Jr. asks for contributions to the building fund at his mother's beloved church, St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal, 101 N. Merritt Mill Road, Chapel Hill, N.C., 27516. For more information, call the church at 967-3961.

Rebecca Clark

We have truly lost a wealth of knowledge, with her passing. She may not have started the civils rights movement, but she did everything in her power  to support it and ensure that we made every attempt to appreciate the liberties that we now have.  She balzed paths that we now try to follow. She was a giant in the neighbor hood. Never asking, but always offering. I'm so hapy that she didn't have to suffer the awful life of a nursing home patient. She was strong, knowledgeable,caring and independent. Lots of us owe everything to her, not just monetary, but being where we are today. She was the roots of the Sellars Family, always concerned that everyone was ok. I can only hope that when the angel came for her, she was not afraid, she was always up for a challenge and in most cases she WON!! Even in the most recent election she was instrumental is assisting people in getting to the polls to vote. Ican go on,and on, but I will suffice to say that she was and is that bright shinning star when you look to the heavens, and I can imagine that her arms are out stretched even now telling us "don't be afraid"... and don't be sad...I HAD A GOOD LIFE!
