Informative
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/1/10
I thought this place was very informative and a change from the normal painted history of S.C. This site depicted some of the cruelties and accomplishments that Afro Americans had to endeavor. Some history scares some people especially when it was the truth. Good site need a bigger scale done or a state muesum, history should not be stash away. All people history

Racist site
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/3/10
It should just be American History, why does it have to be African?
