Saluda County civil rights leader, Charlie Sam Daniel Sr. (center in above photo) died Jan. 22 at the age of 93.
Daniel was known in Saluda County and throughout the State for his work toward the integration of the public schools in the late 60s and early 70s. His community accomplishments were numerous and included serving as President of the NAACP for over a decade, co-founding a community action group called Concerned Citizens of Saluda County, testifying at U.S. Congressional hearings in Washington, DC for the integration of Saluda County Schools, organizing and leading, for many decades, voter registration and redistricting efforts for fair and effective community representation, serving on the Board of Riverside Community Development Center,
He operated Daniel’s Barber Shop on Bouknight Ferry Road for over 60 years.
Daniel was also known as the father of and grandfather of outstanding athletes. The above photo was taken at the Saluda-Southside Christian game in Simpsonville in 2019. Pictured with him, L to R, are his grandson Myles, his son Al, his daughter Kenyatta and his son Mel. Myles, Mel’s son, was an All-State basketball player at Greenville’s Wade Hampton High School. Al was a star basketball player at Saluda High, Anderson College and Furman University and is in the Hall of Fame at all three schools. Kenyatta was an all-state basketball player at Saluda High. Mel led the Saluda boys basketball team to back to back state championships in 1977 and 1978, and is in the Saluda and Furman Halls of Fame.
They were all there to see Kenyatta’s son Dallan Wright play for the Tigers. Dallan would later in the season catch four touchdown passes in Saluda’s State Championship win over Barnwell. He is currently a member of the Virginia Tech football team. His brother Zion was a top receiver for this year’s Saluda football squad, and currently is a star player on the basketball team.
