Judge Dismisses Suit Over Civil Rights Prosecution
North Augusta woman Rose Salter had sued six black leaders including Gallman Rivers White Hightower and White alleging abuse of due process in a 1989 civil rights action. Judge Rodney Peeples found no proof of procedural breach and granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants. The case traces to integration efforts at the Buffalo Room in North Augusta and a 1989 consent order over discrimination.
