Elizabeth Avery Waring-born in 1895 in Detroit, Michigan-was the second wife to Judge Julius Waties Waring. Judge Waring was known for his support of African Americans during the civil rights movement, and it is believed that after his marriage to Elizabeth Avery he became exponentially engrossed in fighting for equal rights.
Waring was known to work with Septima Clark, the chairman of the Coming Street Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) in regard to expanding voting rights for black individuals and often condemning white supremacy. Waring was known for her open disgust towards white supremacy and the Southerners that continued to perpetuate hate against black Charleston residents. Waring has two powerful quotes regarding activism from a January 16th, 1950 speech: “Only revolution sparks evolution” and “Freedom is everybody’s job”.
Waring’s support for equal rights made her unpopular with many white South Carolinians and she was criticized for her involvement with black individuals, as well as her supposed influence on her husband's political views. Judge Waring remained unfazed by the hateful comments towards himself and his wife. He handed out copies of her speeches, listened intently to her calls for justice, and applied her progressive viewpoints to his line of work.
After spending most of their lives in Charleston, the Warings moved to New York City in 1952. Elizabeth Waring remained in New York City with her husband until her death in 1968.
