THE GAMECOCK
Statesman
> Newman's presen
A great statesman and leader, I. DeQuincey
Newman, died Monday at Richland Memorial
Hospital.
Newman was an important civil rights leader
whose non-violent approach to change helped
break racial barriers during the 1960s.
Newman, with his calm yet forceful personali
ty, was a key factor in easing racial tensions in
South Carolina.
Perhaps the greatest testimony to Newman's
^ impact on desegregation in the South was his
w own election to the S.C. Senate in 1983. He was
the first black senator elected since
Reconstruction.
Former Gov. Robert NcNair said, "It is providential
that he ended up the first senator. It
was only right."
Although he was forced to resign this year
because of poor health, Newman's impact on

the Senate was great. He made an emotional appeal
for repeal of the blue laws in February, and
he surprised many by singing "Dixie" with a
Republican legislator. He explained it was time
for wounds to heal.
Newman took many personal risks in his
fight for civil rights. He was arrested six times
for protest activities and attacked by an angry
mob because he and other blacks waded into
the ocean on a white stretch of Myrtle Beach.
Members of all races owe a great debt to
Newman and men like him. The changes he
helped bring about improved life for all citizens

A soft-spoken and gentle man, Newman was
nevertheless a forceful mover in South Carolina
history. He cared about the welfare of all South
Carolinians, and he will be missed.
