The first volume in a valuable oral history of the struggle for civil and human rights in South Carolina, as told by those who experienced it. Champions of Civil and Human Rights in South Carolina is a five-volume anthology of oral history interviews of key activists and leaders of the civil rights movement in South Carolina, revealing and chronicling a massive revolution in American society in a deeply personal and gripping way. Volume 1, Dawn of the Movement Era, 1955–1967, begins with the landmark 1954 Supreme Court ruling on Brown v. Board of Education in which the Court declared unconstitutional state laws establishing racially segregated public schools. The ruling prompted strong reactions throughout the nation. In South Carolina white resistance prompted boycotts of merchants by the local NAACP and some of the earliest mass movement protests in the United States. This collection features oral histories from famous leaders U.S. Congressman James E. Clyburn, Septima Poinsette Clark, and I. DeQuincy Newman, as well as small-town citizens, pastors, and students, all sharing their experiences, motivations, hopes and fears, and how they see the struggle today. A collective memoir and a survey of archived interviews, a variety of published and unpublished narratives, and illuminating photographs, opening doors to new historical evidence and insights regarding people, places, and events, this ambitious project of the University of South Carolina’s Institute for Public Service and Policy Research was funded in part by the South Carolina Bar Foundation, the Southern Bell Corporation, and South Carolina Humanities.
