From making history as one of the first African Americans elected to the Columbia City Council since Reconstruction to serving as the first African American National President of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), Battiste has spent his career breaking barriers.

A founding shareholder of Johnson, Toal & Battiste, P.A., Luther’s decades of public service and courtroom mastery have earned him Columbia’s highest honors, including a dedicated city monument and plaza. We are proud to honor his historic legacy of leadership with the Distinguished Alumni Award.
