Day 17

Day 17:
Charleston, SC


We spent the morning and early afternoon speaking with a scholar/activist who studies the history of the Charleston CR movement. She and her family were active in the movement, and she was the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit to integrate Charleston’s public schools in the 1960s. Students then spent time in the Avery Research Institute researching their individual projects. We ended the day with a trip to nearby Folly Beach.


Miles traveled: 50 miles
