Eugene “Son” Frazier Sr. fought crime and broke down racial barriers in a Charleston County law enforcement career that spanned more than two decades. He then found a new mission to protect and serve his community as a noted author, historian and preservationist — a "culture keeper,” as his friends like to say.
