Coastal Culture

Charleston, South Carolina, blends history with Southern charm

Charleston, South Carolina, knows how to impress visitors. With nearly 8 million tourists annually descending on the narrow peninsula that’s home to just over 30,000 residents, hospitality is an art here. Many of those millions of guests come to South Carolina’s largest city (known as the “Holy City” thanks to its high concentration of churches) for all the charming Southern details one might expect, but they walk away with much more.

Since its founding in the late 1600s, Charleston’s role in American history is one its residents continue to examine. During the 18th and 19th centuries, more than half of the country’s enslaved people came through Charleston’s port as part of the Atlantic slave trade, leaving a mark that is still seen today in historical areas and neighborhoods. Meanwhile,

descendants of enslaved people formed the vibrant Gullah Geechee culture, which has had a profound influence on the city’s cuisine and traditions.

As Charleston’s leaders and institutions have worked to make the city’s storytelling more inclusive in recent years, visitors today can enjoy restaurants and historic sites while exploring a more complete history.

START ON FOOT

Charleston is a walkable city, and, considering the limited parking in the city’s downtown, walking is encouraged. Your best bet is to rely on rideshare apps, use the city’s free downtown shu le system or hop on a tour bus for a narrated excursion. To reach one of the city’s boundary islands, however, driving is recommended.

HOLY CITY HIGHLIGHTS

To kick o a visit, start at the Charleston

Museum — the country’s oldest museum, founded in 1773 — in the center of the peninsula. e museum features artifacts from around the state that show how the country developed from this port city, and visitors can view models of ancient animals that roamed South Carolina’s coastal region, the Lowcountry. Another source of the city’s history comes from the International African American Museum, opened in 2023 at Gadsden’s Wharf, where an estimated 40% of the enslaved Africans brought to North America first arrived.

Take home a bit of the Gullah Geechee culture at the Sweetgrass Basket Pavilion, just off the peninsula in Mount Pleasant Waterfront Park. Learn about this legacy cra , originally used in rice harvesting, and take home a durable and beautiful basket woven by local cra people from regional sweetgrass.

also gained traction with the public. In recent decades, city residents and environmentalists have argued against planting male trees in urban areas (once the recommendation of the U.S. Department of Agriculture) and instead adding more female trees. Where female organs rely on fruit and flower production to repopulate, male trees rely in part on wind-driven pollen transfers that generate and spread more pollen.

Why not replace our male trees with female ones, then? Webb says he hears that question a lot. “ ere’s not that many species that have a [separate] male and a female tree,” he says. “It’s not something that we could go to a nursery and say, ‘Can you give us all the female trees so that we can reduce the pollen load?’” In recent years, experts have sought to dispel the misconception that introducing exclusively male trees could reduce pollen in urban environments.

Given the limited options, urban for-

esters, including Webb, look at pollen as a disservice trees provide, balanced against the benefits of rebuilding Richmond’s treescape. “With every tree we plant, we’re looking at how this benefits the whole community,” he says. “ e trees that provide us the biggest benefits — the shade, the stormwater [mitigation], those big ecosystem services — are typically the ones that produce the most pollen. ... e benefits of an urban tree far outweigh the considerations of pollen.”

ere’s a chance that restoring the tree canopy could improve the city’s pollen situation. Comba ing climate change and reducing urban heat islands could lower the likelihood of wind-pollinating trees blooming earlier, shortening the spring pollen season.

As Webb and his team complete their master tree plan, he says opportunities for reducing the pollen load in the city and other positives could reveal themselves. For now, medical professionals point to

“The trees that provide us the biggest benefits ... are typically the ones that produce the most pollen. ... The benefits of an urban tree far outweigh the considerations of pollen.”

allergy management and preparedness as the best ways to get through the season.

“As the climate is changing, the pollen is changing; it’s here for longer and becoming more allergenic,” Hess says. “ ere’s only so much we can control, so ultimately controlling your symptoms and having good prevention measures is imperative.” R

Michael Webb became the city’s rst urban forester in 2023.

an editorial. “A people who will willingly accept discrimination ... are not suciently advanced to be entitled to the liberties of a free people.”

Mitchell was the driving force behind e Planet for 45 years, purchasing new equipment, contributing art and editorials, and eventually increasing circulation to make the paper modestly profitable. However, despite — or because of — his reputation as “the Fighting Editor,” Mitchell encountered financial troubles. In 1891, following e Planet’s opposition to the Robert E. Lee monument dedication the previous year, Hustings Court Judge Josiah Leake issued an injunction alleging Mitchell had commi ed financial malfeasance. In 1921, Mitchell was convicted of fraud at Mechanics Savings Bank, which he had founded. e case was overturned on appeal, but the legal expenses le him destitute, and the bank failed shortly a er.

Even during stints on Richmond’s City Council and Board of Aldermen, Mitchell doggedly continued publishing e Planet until his death on Dec. 3, 1929,

just a year a er Virginia passed the nation’s first anti-lynching law. e paper continued for nearly a decade with no editor-in-chief listed.

Growth: The Richmond Afro-American

In 1938, the Baltimore-based Afro American Newspapers purchased the struggling Planet and changed its name to e Richmond Afro-American-Planet. “Here is our hand, Richmond,” Editor J. Robert Smith announced in the first combined issue, printed on June 4, 1938. “We are fully conscious of the responsibility which the assignment as editor of the merged Planet and Afro imposes, and it shall be our aim to carry on in keeping with the well-established policies of these two journals.”

e paper’s name was shortened to e Richmond Afro-American in 1941, and it flourished, with circulation reaching upwards of 20,000 by the end of the 1940s. “In our heyday, e Afro was in every Black household in the city,” Editor John Templeton told the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star in 1983. “Either it was in

the house or people talked about what was in it.” During the paper’s first decade, former Virginia Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, who from 1990 to 1994 was the nation’s first elected Black governor, delivered the Afro door to door.

e Afro adopted a measured journalistic approach distinct from the firebrand activism of Mitchell and The Planet, opting to serve more as an alternative civic institution. It nonetheless highlighted civil rights injustices, such as the 1960 alhimers sit-in protesting segregated lunch counters and the destruction of historical Black neighborhoods by highway construction, but the paper also o ered job postings and social event reporting that promoted Black life, achievement and culture largely overlooked by mainstream white-owned newspapers.

In 1959, Prince Edward County closed its public schools rather than comply with court-ordered desegregation. e Afro covered the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s visit to Richmond to lead a nonviolent protest march of over 2,000
