In 1948, Federal Judge Julius Waties Waring (1880-1968) of Charleston, South Carolina, outlawed white primaries that had been in effect since 1876. But the highlight of his career was a dissenting opinion he wrote from the Federal Bench regarding the desegregation of schools in Clarendon County. Thurgood Marshall, later a U.S. Supreme Court Judge, represented the NAACP in the case. In his dissenting opinion Waring ruled that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.” The U.S. Supreme Court later adopted his words in its famous Brown vs. Board of Education decision through which the high court ordered the desegregation of schools.

Offered here is a fine typed letter signed, 8 ˝” x 11” on City of Charleston, S.C. Legal Department stationary, dated September 4, 1935, to a law firm in Charleston and written as the city’s corporation counsel. In part, “I am in receipt of your letter of the 3rd instant in regard to Ford Automobile Motor #1951331, and have communicated with the Chairman of the Police Commission relative thereto.” Paper clip mark at the top, even toning and added annotation in another hand. Exceptionally bold and excellent signature and a nice piece of history regarding a man with an accomplished and admirable career who made a wonderful contribution to history.
