March 11, 2010
Legacy.com — The first black woman elected to the South Carolina General Assembly, Juanita Goggins of Rock Hill, has died. She was 75.
Goggins, a Democrat, was elected to represent the Rock Hill-centered House District 49 after court rulings forced changes in the makeup of State House districts in South Carolina.
She won the Democratic primary in the summer of 1974 against an incumbent, then defeated a Republican in the general election.
Goggins served three two-year terms before retiring from public life in 1978 with health problems. She had lived the past several years in Columbia.

It’s a crazy world, however, everything that we do – when we follow our dreams is hard.” She also encouraged the elated audience to “keep your chin up, because often times we may speak to one another with our head down. Let them see you!” she shouted. “A potential investor, sponsor, business partner or boyfriend/husband, can’t see you if your head is down.”
