Description

We will conduct oral histories to learn about historic neighborhoods on James and Johns Islands. Refreshments will be served. The South Carolina DOT and New South Associates want to hear from current or former residents of James and Johns Islands to help gather information about these important historic African American settlement communities. We will be recording oral histories and invite you to bring your historic photos and other historic documents, which we can scan and digitize on site.
