On Friday, Oct. 4, 2024, Rose Ewing, the Community Education Manager for Hopeful Horizons, is seen arranging a display at the Port Royal Library that features a wedding gown. This display aims to raise awareness about the high rates of domestic violence in South Carolina. The gown bears the names of South Carolinians who lost their lives to domestic violence last year, alongside the Silent Witness Victims list. The Wedding Gown Project can be seen at public library branches in Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties throughout October in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
