The 16-year-old whose lawsuit changed USC, and the public health legacy she built

Henrie Monteith Treadwell, whose 1963 enrollment helped desegregate the University of South Carolina, died Tuesday, at 81, the University said in a news release. She was the last surviving member of the three Black students who enrolled that fall, joining Robert Anderson and James Solomon Jr. Treadwell’s lawsuit, filed when she was 16, led to USC’s integration, the release said. In 1965, she became the university’s first Black graduate since Reconstruction, earning a degree in biochemistry. “Her courage changed the University of South Carolina, the state of South Carolina, and the lives of countless people who followed her path,” said Bobby Donaldson, executive director of USC’s Center for Civil Rights History and Research. She continued her education with a master’s degree from Boston University, a doctorate from Atlanta University and postdoctoral public health work at Harvard. Her career included work with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and founding the Community Voices project at Morehouse School of Medicine, where she focused on strengthening marginalized communities, according to the release. In 2024, USC honored Treadwell, Anderson and Solomon with a 12-foot bronze monument on the university’s Horseshoe. “She lived a monumental and inspiring life,” President Michael Amiridis said in the release.
