Honoring our ancestors... Memorial Day.
In 1965, the Black community in Charleston, South Carolina, was unsettled by the fact that Black Union Soldiers were dumped into a mass grave, and decided to take action.

They unearthed the bodies and gave each soldier a proper burial. The community came together in the thousands (10, 000) to honor the soldiers who lost their lives fighting for us to be free.

05/18/2026

Join us every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for DID YOU KNOW? - a new community learning series created with people of African descent in mind and open to everyone.
