Reverend Joseph Darby Jr. advocated for the people of South Carolina with his heart and soul. A pastor, organizer, and champion for civil rights, he believed deeply in the very idea of America — that we are all created equal and deserve to be treated equally throughout our lives. During his remarkable career, Reverend Darby led with integrity, humility, and determination, and made countless lives better. A legacy that will endure.
I will always cherish the years of friendship we shared. Jill and I are keeping his family and all of those who knew and loved him in our prayers. May God bless Reverend Darby.
