These are from the August 24-27 bus trip to Charleston, SC. Thirty-five people went on the trip. The three activities we all did were: "Frankly Charleston Black History Tour" conducted by a tour guide who hopped onto our bus; International African American Museum, which opened in 2023; and presentation on the history and ministry of Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church (nine congregants were shot to death in 2015 but the history goes much farther back). This is IRC's second bus trip. The first, in February 2024, was to Montgomery and Selma. The Charleston trip was supported by grants from Campbell Memorial Presbyterian Church's Agape Fund and by the Robert B. Lantz Foundation.
