Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The South Carolina Historical Marker Program, established in 1936, has approved the installation of more than 1,700 interpretive plaques, each highlighting how places both grand and unassuming have played important roles in the history of the Palmetto State. These roadside markers identify and interpret places valuable for understanding South Carolina's past, including sites of consequential events and buildings, structures, or other resources significant for their design or their association with institutions or individuals prominent in local, state, or national history. This volume includes a concise history of the South Carolina Historical Marker Program and an overview of the marker application process. For those interested in specific historic periods or themes, the volume features condensed lists of markers associated with broader topics such as the American Revolution, African American history, women's history, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. While the program is administered by the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, most markers are proposed by local organizations that serve as a marker's official sponsor, paying its cost and assuming responsibility for its upkeep. In that sense, this inventory is a record not just of places and subjects that the state has deemed worthy of acknowledgment, but of those that South Carolinians themselves have worked to enshrine.

Book excerpt: A fully updated and revised edition of the book USA Today called "jim-dandy pop history," by the bestselling, American Book Award–winning author "The most definitive and expansive work on the Lost Cause and the movement to whitewash history." —Mitch Landrieu, former mayor of New Orleans From the author of the national bestseller Lies My Teacher Told Me, a completely updated—and more timely than ever—version of the myth-busting history book that focuses on the inaccuracies, myths, and lies on monuments, statues, national landmarks, and historical sites all across America. In Lies Across America, James W. Loewen continues his mission, begun in the award-winning Lies My Teacher Told Me, of overturning the myths and misinformation that too often pass for American history. This is a one-of-a-kind examination of historic sites all over the country where history is literally written on the landscape, including historical markers, monuments, historic houses, forts, and ships. New changes and updates include: • a town in Louisiana that was the site of a major but now-forgotten enslaved persons' uprising • a totally revised tour of the memory and intentional forgetting of slavery and the Civil War in Richmond, Virginia • the hideout of a gang in Delaware that made money by kidnapping free blacks and selling them into slavery Entertaining and enlightening, Lies Across America also has a serious role to play in contemporary debates about white supremacy and Confederate memorials.

This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes the reader on a tour of African Americans Historical Markers in the city of Charleston, SC. Many sites where Free Blacks lived, worked, went to school, and owned businesses during slavery and reconstruction have disappeared, others have been repurposed or remodeled into something unrecognizable. Some of the sites are marked with historical markers and many have disappeared without a trace. Charleston is a city where hundreds of thousands of visitors visit each year to enjoy its rich history of beautiful homes and gardens that were built by enslaved Africans and African Americans and to learn about the history of slavery in this city. This city has a rich Gullah-Geechee culture. This author grew up in this culture and is passionate about sharing her history. Between these pages you will find markers of African and African American homes, schools, churches and businesses. This book takes you on a tour of those sites. Most are in the city of Charleston but some significant markers from nearby cities have been included. It gives you a glimpse of Black History at a time when Blacks had no history. This is a book with all of the markers in one place by streets making it easy for you to plan your visit. You can use it as an educational tool or a guide. As you visit the markers, think of the dearly departed and pause for a moment to celebrate their lives and reminisce about their history and perseverance. Living through the pain of slavery and Jim Crow laws to obtain home ownership, educate themselves, and start their own businesses was a huge challenge, but they made it and many were extremely successful in business, politics and many occupations. I hope this book makes your visit a bit easier and more enjoyable.
