County receives grant funding for oral history project
The Charleston County Zoning and Planning Department was awarded a $50,000 African American Civil Rights Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior and the National Park Service to fund an oral history project.
The project, called A Journey to Equal Education: Stories from Historic African-American Communities, will focus on the experiences of students during the desegregation of public schools in the 1950s and 1960s.
