Reverend Bouie: Civil Rights Pioneer

A true Civil Rights pioneer, Reverend Simon Bouie, has died at 85, leaving behind a legacy that reshaped American history. Arrested as a student for challenging segregation at an Eckerd’s lunch counter, his case became Bouie v. City of Columbia — a landmark Supreme Court decision that helped pave the way for the 1964 Civil Rights Act. His conviction was later expunged, 60 years later, by a Richland County judge. Beyond the courtroom, he was a beloved pastor who served communities across South Carolina, New York, and Philadelphia, touching countless lives through his faith and courage.
