By February 1, 2022No Comments

Judge Mildred Weathers McDuffie was the epitome of a community servant and leader. We are saddened by the loss of this dynamic woman, but we are fortunate to live in a city that was blessed by her presence.  Not only was she a trailblazer in education, she was also at the forefront of the civil rights movement, as well as, a passionate advocate for neighborhoods and civil service.  Her legacy will continue to live on and her contributions will continue to benefit future generations in our community. Columbia is a better city because of Judge Mildred Weathers McDuffie.
