The Charleston Area Branch of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) is thrilled to announce the start of an exciting new year of events, beginning with our Black History Month Kick-Off on Saturday, February 1, 2025. This event is co-sponsored by the College of Charleston's Center for the Study of Slavery in Charleston.
Join the Charleston Area Branch of ASALH as we commemorate the establishment of the Denmark Vesey Monument, located in Hampton Park in downtown Charleston, SC. Unveiled in 2014 after nearly two decades of dedicated effort, this monument honors Denmark Vesey, a freedman who played an important role in Charleston’s history.
