North Charleston, SC gives $1M to new African American history museum
North Charleston is giving $1 million to a new African American history museum in South Carolina and is asking the museum to include the city’s story.
The North Charleston City Council voted unanimously Thursday to give the money from the city’s taxes on hotels to the International African American Museum being built in Charleston.
Mayor Keith Summey says he
hopes the money helps tell the story of North Charleston’s predecessor
Liberty Hill, where a black couple bought farmland during the Civil War
that was later sold to other African Americans.
