Donald Holland
Donald Holland, ’51 J.D., was a great statesman and a great friend to SCPC. His collection documents his service in both the South Carolina House of Representatives, 1950-1954 and 1956-1964, and the South Carolina Senate, 1969-2003. Material from his political campaigns and his work as District Highway Commissioner are also held. Holland, at different times, represented constituents in Kershaw, Chesterfield, Darlington, Lancaster, Lee, Marlboro, and York counties.
Upon his death in 2003, John West said of his friend and colleague, “I knew and was associated with Don for over 50 years. I have never seen a man as honest, with more integrity, with more dedication, than Donald Holland. He was dedicated to his constituency, often termed the “little people.‟ He shunned the limelight. He seldom took credit for things that he did and never put his own interests ahead of his constituency. I think he will go down as one of the great leaders of Kershaw County…. He was just a model public servant.”
