He later received an honorary doctoral degree from the University of Charleston and completed graduate work at South Carolina State University, the Citadel Military College, and Clemson University; and

Whereas, with successful careers in public education and public service, Mr. Inabinett distinguished himself in the field of education as an agricultural teacher at Baptist Hill High School and as the principal for R. D. Schroder Middle School; and
Whereas, as a public official, Mr. Inabinett served as the first African American appointed to the Charleston County Election Commission, a Town Council member and mayor for the Town of Ravenel, a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives, and a member of the Charleston County Council; and
