Film Studies minor Keyasia Pride helps unveil historical marker highlighting CofC’s history

A new South Carolina Historical Marker highlighting the College’s history was unveiled on George Street by President Hsu and Film Studies minor Keyasia Pride on CofC Day, a celebration of the College’s 250th anniversary. Keyasia was helped by fellow student Grayson Harris. The marker, located near Porter Lodge, notes the College’s decision, in 1949, to return from public to private institution in order to avoid segregation. It now stands as a testament to the College of Charleston’s ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion. We’re so proud of Keyasia!
