The first time Charles McDew met a white person in the South, a policeman pulled him over at 1 a.m. in Sumter, South Carolina. It was Thanksgiving break, 1959.

The next day, the black section of the train was full heading to Orangeburg. So he sat down in the white section — back to jail. When he finally made it into the city, McDew figured he could cut through a park to get to the safe haven of the historically black South Carolina State University campus where he had started as a freshman. But the park wasn’t desegregated, so he was sent to jail for the third time in two days.
