Septima Clark, far left, sits next to Ruby Cornwell at a dinner at the home of Elizabeth and Waties Waring. This photograph was published in Collier’s magazine in a 195x article about Judge Waring’s unpopularity among whites, entitled “The Loneliest Man in Town.” While white animosity toward the couple grew, especially following Mrs. Waring’s speech at the Coming Street Y, Clark and other Black leaders developed a friendship with the couple in a time when few white Charlestonians would ever consider socializing with Black people as equals. | Source: Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture, College of Charleston, Charleston, SC.
