Honors the life and achievements of Sarah Mae Flemming Brown, a civil rights activist from Eastover.
This resolution honors the life and achievements of Sarah Mae Flemming Brown, a prominent African American civil rights activist from Eastover. Flemming was known for her significant role in desegregation efforts, particularly her case against the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company (SCE&G) which influenced civil rights law and the desegregation of buses. Despite losing her initial case, her appeals led to a landmark decision by the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, which applied the principles of Brown v. Board of Education to intrastate transportation.
