Frankly Charleston Morning Walking Tour

Overview

TOUR REFLECT

The truthful acknowledgment of African American contributions to these United States of America since its founding, which is still in limbo or in denial compared to the racism that is wide spread throughout this country for the sake of its southern heritage, in step with keeping it a tradition? Why can’t Americans get with the time?

We break down the other Charleston and the stereo typical mind set of the institution of slavery in this country or shall I say in the Low Country Charles Towne. Were we GULLAH? Or were we AFRICANS? What was the reward for not running? How wealthy were the free People of Color?

Wow! Franklin has found his niche! Everyone benefits from listening to the "untold" stories of Charleston that he has researched and shares so well... stories of contributions made by many of our black brothers and sisters, slave and free, ancestors and current residents, which have shaped the rich tapestry of Charleston's legacy. - and the ongoing story of the United States of America! I especially appreciated Franklin's sensitivity to the reality of this "un-naming" - un-acknowledged credit for the City that stands today as a living, breathing museum of the "real America" as she continues to unfold.

This is an important tour for anyone who wants to begin to understand the often overlooked contributions and sacrifices of so many generations of Black people who built Charleston into the dazzling city it is today. Packed with information conveyed in an engaging way by Franklin Williams, a tour guide whose passion and knowledge are clear throughout. Our tour group was diverse, too, which was a welcome change in a city that is astonishingly white downtown. Highlights - Williams’ stories of the lives of Black residents, artisans and business leaders. Denmark Vesey house, slave auction blocks on neighborhood streets, Mother Emanuel AME Church, Simmons gate and more. Highly recommend.
