    S.C. Courthouse Named for Lawyer Perry

    DateSaturday, April 24, 2004 at 5:52AM

    When Matthew Perry started trying cases in South Carolina 50 years ago, judges made the young black lawyer sit in the balcony until his case was called.

    Now the 82-year-old judge's name sits atop the columns of South Carolina's new federal courthouse, which was dedicated Friday in honor of the civil rights pioneer.

    Congratulations to Judge Perry. Details here from ABCNews.com.
