"W" is for Workman, William Douglas, Jr. [1914-1990]. Journalist, author. After graduating from the Citadel, Workman became a reporter for the News and Courier. By the late 1950s, as a result of his reporting on governmental, political, and racial issues throughout the South; his syndicated columns; and his frequent appearances as a television commentator, Workman had statewide name recognition. In 1960, he published The Case for the South in which he asserted his views of the constitutionality and wisdom of maintaining racial segregation in the South. In 1962, Workman ran as a Republican for the U.S. Senate seat held by Olin D. Johnston. His remarkable showing in that race indicated that the Republican Party in South Carolina had become a viable force. In 1963, William Douglas Workman, Jr., joined the State newspaper and served as its editor from 1966 to 1972.
