Jim, my Citadel '85 classmate and brother! You are a gentleman and wonderful story teller. What an entertaining education you share! My lovely wife and I are coming to town next Saturday March 6th thru Thursday the 11th. We would be grateful and honored if we can join one of your walking tours... my mother actually grew up on Queen Street behind the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist downtown (also where Linda and I were married)! I actually grew up in Mt. Pleasant. We've never done one of these tours. How should I best connect with you? Looking forward to connecting. Billy & Linda Gay '85

Interesting observation from this video: Charleston, was the largest US slave port historically. However I didn't see one Black person (passersby) present in the video or any Black history discussed in the presentation. Interesting indeed. So it's city that basically accommodates white normative culture and interests?

African slavery was introduced into the new world by the Spanish, French and English. The subject is discussed in literature and historical markers all over the city. It is also discussed in guided tours, but it is only one facet of colonial and United States history. There are other historical events and cultural phenomenon besides African slavery in particular. You can enjoy the Great Pyramids, The Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, Buckingham Palace, The Tower of London, Rome and countless other historical features without dwelling on the darker aspects of them. New York city, Boston and Philadelphia were heavily involved in the trade of human chattels, Harvard University was founded by a slave trader but it is rarely discussed or even known of by most inhabitants of those cities even today. Charleston discusses the darker aspects of history more than any city in America that I know of.
