During the 1950s and 1960s Waters worked as areporter for the People’s Voice, the Harlem Daily, the Long Island Daily Press,and later wrote a civic affairs column for the New York Daily News. He received amedal and cash prize from Columbia University’s School of Journalism for theseries, “Black Long Island,” which he co-wrote. Waters married ElizabethJosephine Waters in 1952 and had two daughters.After relocating to El Paso, Waters worked as a publicist in the publicaffairs office at William Beaumont Army Medical Center and then as a clerk-typistfor El Paso Police Department headquarters. He also wrote several letters-tothe-editor and short articles for the El Paso Herald-Post during the 1980s.

He eventuallyrecovered after several months, but retired from his job with the El Paso PoliceDepartment after the accident. Two years later Waters joined the staff of the ElPaso Times, where he wrote a weekly column from 1990 – 2001. Waters’columns discussed various current events and social issues, such as presidentialpolitics, drugs, drunk driving, popular culture, and domestic violence, though heprimarily focused on El Paso and its African-American community. Waters wasalso an active and dedicated member of the Black El Paso Democrats.An enthusiastic chess player, Waters became the first African-American tobe admitted to the prestigious Marshall Chess Club in New York.
