About Honiss Cane, Jr.
Honiss Webster Cane, Jr. (1939-2010) was an activist for ending segregation on the Eastern Shore. He was the first Black represnetative on the town council of Pocomoke City and the lead plaintiff in Cane v. Worcester County, a 1994 legal case which "challenged the at-large election system that had locked Black people out of Worcester County office for 250 years and led to the election of the County's first Black Commissioner in 1995."
