Bus tour of Historically African American Communities in the Charleston area, stops at the Avery Research Center and the Denmark Vesey Statue in Hampton Park. For those curious to learn more about the fight for Civil Rights in the Lowcountry, we will visit the Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture for a self-guided tour and mini workshop exploring Avery’s archival collections. During this excursion, visitors will learn about freedom fighters in Avery Research Center's archival collections.
