| Description | COLUMBIA, South Carolina (AP) -- Gov. Mark Sanford has signed a bill to add the name of Strom Thurmond's biracial daughter to the list of his children engraved on a monument to the late U.S. senator.
Essie Mae Washington-Williams came forward last year and announced she is the daughter of Thurmond and a black 16-year-old housekeeper who worked in the Thurmond family home.
Thurmond was 22 years old when Washington-Williams was born. He died last year at age 100.
The governor signed the bill June 18.
