Sciway.net is an amazing online resource. I just found some fascinating links and references there related to South Carolina’s African American History. Among the highlights of the page (for myself at least…) A large pdf file listing African American historical sites in South Carolina. A list of distinguished SC African Americans. Festival and Event listing, a Gullah heritage and language page.
There are some historical images as well… I think the top of the highlights (there are several real gems here….) is probably the voices – digital library section with transcripts of letters http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/black_voices/black_voices.cfm this is a must read…unfortunately it is no longer on their site.
That section is a must bookmark page too…. I’ve quickly become absorbed in some of the “tangents” leading off from that page and could easily spend all night reading there.
