in 1995 the first Black president of the Richland County South Carolina Bar Association was Luther H Battiste III

In 1959 police were called to a segregated library in South Carolina when a young Ronald McNair refused to leave without his science book.

He was just 9 years old.

(Obvs this image was taken a few years later!)

On this day in 1963, Harvey Gantt became the first Black student at Clemson University in South Carolina, the last state to hold out against court-ordered desegregation.
