Catherine Fleming Bruce
Catherine Fleming Bruce is an author, preservationist, activist and American politician of the Democratic Party.
Bruce received her bachelor's degree from Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia and her master's degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of South Carolina in Columbia. Bruce is the daughter of Emma Fleming and the late Louis Fleming, who served as Chairman of Sumter (SC) County Council.[1] [2]
Her writings focus on culture and social justice. Published scholarship includes The Globalization-friendly global public sphere: contrasting paths to moral legitimacy and accountability, an article that appeared in The Public Sphere Reconsidered.[3]
Bruce is the author of The Sustainers: Being, Building and Doing Good through Activism in the Sacred Spaces of Civil Rights, Human Rights and Social Movements.[4] She became the first African American to win the University of Mary Washington Center for Historic Preservation Book Prize in 2017.[5] The book received significant attention in the field, and has amplified national scholarly and professional discussion on social justice, inclusion, diversity and anti-racism in the practice of preservation, as well as connections between preservation and social justice.[6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]
In the aftermath of the 2014 deadly Christmas Eve EF3 hurricane[16] in Columbia, Mississippi and the 1000 year flood that struck Columbia, South Carolina the year afterward[17] [18], Bruce highlighted historic ties between the two cities and participated in joint relief efforts that connected them as sister cities.[19] [20] [21] [22]
On January 17, 2022, Martin Luther King Day, Bruce announced her campaign to run in the 2022 election for South Carolina's Class 3 seat in the United States Senate against Republican incumbent Tim Scott.[23] [24] [25] [26] Bruce received the highest number of votes in the June 14th Democratic Primary against two opponents[27] [28]. Because South Carolina State law requires a more than 50% margin of victory, a June 28th runoff was held.[29].[30] [31] The eventual Democratic Nominee was defeated by the incumbent.[32] [33]
