The Center for the Study of Slavery in Charleston is assisting the Anson Street African Burial Ground Project in an important event and we urge you to attend. Soil collected from our site at the College of Charleston Addlestone Library, where African American cemeteries were once located, will be incorporated into the African Ancestors Memorial which will later be erected at the site of the Gaillard Auditorium. Attendees will learn about these organizations and participate in laying flowers at the site. President Andrew Hsu will assist in the soil collection with a representative of the Brown Fellowship Society and C of C student Zaiid Stroman (a 1967 Legacy Scholar and the grandson of a South Carolina Civil Rights activist).
