MARCH 16: The Excavation of Castle Pinckney

Speaker: John Fisher, USC SC Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology
This small masonry fortification constructed by the United States government by 1810, in the harbor of Charleston, served as a prisoner-of-war camp and artillery position and in 1970 was named to the National Register of Historic Places. Learn the latest on what has been discovered through excavation.

 

APRIL 20: The Green Book

Speaker: Dawn Dawson House, SC African American Heritage Commission

The original Green Book was an African American travel guide to safe harbors & welcoming establishments across the United States, printed until the mid-1960s. And now the first mobile travel guide to African American cultural sites across South Carolina. Created by the S.C. African American Heritage Commission, it provides residents and visitors from around the world a user-friendly guide to discovering and celebrating enriching cultural experiences across the state of South Carolina. It is enhancing other programs like Black Carolinians Speak and the South Carolina Family Reunion Toolkit.
