COMMENTARYBRACK: This blockbuster report should change your view of history
Laborers returning at sunset from picking cotton, on Alex. Knox’s plantation, Mount Pleasant, near Charleston, S.C. Photo by G.N. Barnard. Date of photo likely is 1876-79.
By Andy Brack, editor and publisher | To better understand why South Carolina is like it is, you need to read The 1619 Project.
This blockbuster re-telling of history not taught in schools likely will provide a new understanding about how America became a country — and how enslaved Africans played a vital role — not just a subservient one — in the creation of our democracy.
Recognizing this fundamental reality may help Americans cope with the lagging vestiges of slavery, still evident today in people’s attitudes and behavior, as well as our imbalanced economic system whose structure dampens the American Dream for far too many.
Four hundred years ago this month, the first enslaved Africans arrived in Virginia. The 1619 Project, related in a full issue of The New York Times Magazine, opened with these words: “No aspect of the country that would be formed here has been untouched by the 250 years of slavery that followed. On the 400th anniversary of this fateful moment, it is finally time to tell our story truthfully.”
What unfolds — including more than a dozen impacts of South Carolina’s on the system of slavery — is chilling in its violence and emotion. It gives fresh perspectives and uncomfortable truths on how this system of forced labor created enormous white wealth while dehumanizing people with dark skin:
“Out of slavery — and the anti-black racism it required — grew nearly everything that has truly made America exceptional: its economic might, its industrial power, its electoral system, diet and popular music, the inequities of its public health and education, its astonishing penchant for violence, its income inequality, the example it sets for the world as a land of freedom and equality, its slang, its legal system and the endemic racial fears and hatreds that continue to plague it to this day.”
“This piece unmasks the history of America not written in schoolbooks or taught in classes,” said Columbia public relations executive Bud Ferillo, who created the “Corridor of Shame” documentary about inequities in South Carolina schools. “It offers sobering, often painful, discoveries that should make us think and feel anew about our past, and where that leads us now.”
The Rev. Joseph Darby, an AME preacher in Charleston who is a longtime official with the NAACP, hopes the sweeping and frank account of America’s missing history will lead to systemic discussions and progress.
“The 1619 Project is an invaluable tool for everything from community dialogue to academic research to public policy,” he said. “The Project has done something rare by showing how slavery and its still lingering residue shaped and still hinders progress and equity in America.”
Darby shared that looking at the system of slavery and its successor caste system, rather than particular dates and events related, irritated right-wing critics.
“The National Review bemoaned the fact that the Project didn’t focus on more individual black history makers, and I understand why they raised that question. When discussions of race or any problem — like white urban terrorism – focuses on the “individual,” you can dodge frank discussion of the system that produced the individual.”
The Project, however, didn’t shy away from talking about the big impact of two individuals related to South Carolina. One was John C. Calhoun, a vice president and fiery senator who devised the brilliant political concept of nullification, which was the foundation of the cry of “state’s rights” that spread tentacles from the Civil War and the Jim Crow era to the Tea Party and white nationalism now rearing its head.
The Project also highlighted the story of decorated black Army veteran Isaac Woodward who was blinded in 1946 on the way home to visit his mother in Whitmire. The Project shares that his maiming was “one of the catalysts” for what became the modern civil rights movement, which U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel of Charleston addressed this year in a book titled Unexampled Courage.
“I was delighted The 1619 project gave such prominent treatment to the Woodard story,” Gergel told us. “I also was glad to see my central thesis accepted.”
Anyone in state or local government — particularly elected officials — must read The 1619 Project to understand how America became America. It isn’t comfortable, but it’s a step toward dealing with a system that’s still unequal for too many.
Andy Brack’s new book, “We Can Do Better, South Carolina,” is now available for $14.99 in paperback via Amazon.

SPOTLIGHT: S.C. Ports Authority
Founded in 1942, the South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) owns and operates public marine terminals at two port facilities, the Port of Charleston and the Port of Georgetown, in addition to inland ports in Greer and Dillon, S.C. These facilities are owner-operated terminals, meaning the SCPA owns the terminals, operates all container cranes, manages and operates all container storage yards and leads all customer service functions in both the yard and the lanes.
SCPA promotes, develops and facilitates waterborne commerce to meet the current and future needs of its customers, and for the economic benefit of the citizens and businesses of South Carolina. In fact, SCPA facilities in Charleston, Dillon, Georgetown and Greer drive $53 billion in annual statewide economic impact and 1 in every 11 SC jobs is attributed to the Port.

Blue Jamboree to attract big-name Democrats in October
Staff reports | Thousands of Democrats will flock to a North Charleston field Oct. 5 to see big-name presidential candidates as the Charleston County Democratic Party holds its 2019 Blue Jamboree.
The event, which has been growing since it started in 2010 with 150 people, is getting a lot of attention due to the 2020 presidential contest with more than 2,000 tickets already being sold, according to the county party.
Through Sunday, the party is selling tickets for 50 percent off for the event, which will feature other big names in the party, live music and more in The Bend off Azalea Road in North Charleston.
Sponsors of the event include these presidential candidates: Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Tom Steyer, Cory Booker, Andrew Yang, Pete Buttigieg, Michael Bennet, Tulsi Gabbard and Julian Castro.
A volunteer said the previous highest attendance was up to 1,500 people for the 2015 event, which included Democratic presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton, Sanders and former Baltimore Mayor Martin O’Malley.
In other news:
Halting abortion bans. State Sen. Margie Bright Matthews, a Colleton County Democrat whose district includes part of southern Charleston County, wrote an impassioned opinion piece in Friday’s Statehouse Report calling for the end of efforts to ban abortion in the state. She writes: “If my colleagues in the Senate cannot see that, if they insist on using deceptive measures and to bend the rules of legislative protocol and process just to score political points, then they should know that I’m prepared to stand against tough odds and show the world that it’s possible to defeat this abortion ban.” Read the full piece here.
Not so good: ‘Alarming’ report shows dire need of affordable housing in S.C. SC Housing released its first comprehensive Housing Needs Assessment for the state of South Carolina in nearly 22 years. In 41 of 46 counties in the state, the average renter is unable to afford a two-bedroom apartment, and current affordable housing only serves one-in-five low-income renters. It called the findings “alarming” and said it should prompt “legislation and in housing policy.” Read the report.

MYSTERYKicking back to watch a grand sunset
Sunsets are glorious at this time of year with the evening build-up of clouds. Here’s a relaxing local place to watch the evening ebb, but where is it? Send your guess to editor@charlestoncurrents.com. And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.
Our previous Mystery Photo
Our Aug. 26 mystery, “This could be the beginning of something good” included a clue in the title. The photo near the Coast Guard station in Charleston shows the beginning of the Low Battery wall along the Ashley River at the intersection of Tradd Street and Murray Boulevard.
Charleston native Henry Horres Jr. knew the answer, observing, “it might be hard for some but not for a true Charlestonian.”
Hats off also to these sleuths who identified the photo: Legare Clement, Jim McMahan and Kristina Wheeler, all of Charleston; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Rose Riordan of Pawleys Island; Jay Altman of Columbia; and Dolly Hinton.
Graf provided this extra information, according to historiccharleston.org, “Tradd Street, which stretches from the Ashley to the Cooper rivers, is one of the original carriage ways laid out in the 1680 “Grand Modell” of Charles Town. Tradition says the street was named for Robert Tradd, said to be the first child of European descent born in the Province. It may instead have been named for his father, Richard Tradd, who by 1679 was living at the northeast corner of present-day Tradd and East Bay.”

HISTORY: South Carolina’s Hispanic residents
Latin dancers from Florence, S.C., perform a variety of Hispanic dances including, salsa, merengue and bachata for the crowd during the National Hispanic Heritage Month observance ceremony at Patton Hall on Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., Sept. 27, 2018. The ceremony recognized the exceptional achievements and contributions that Hispanics have made in fighting and safeguarding the nation throughout history. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Von Marie Donato) (Photo Credit: Sgt. Von Marie Donato)
S.C. Encyclopedia | Hispanics are among South Carolina’s oldest and most recent immigrant groups. Long before English settlers founded colonies in the Massachusetts Bay, Spanish explorers laid claim to territory in what is now the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific. From bases of operation in the Caribbean and Mexico, Spanish emissaries established presidios and missions to protect Spain’s northern colonial frontier. In 1526 Spaniard Lucas Vásquez de Ayllón established the first European settlement in present-day South Carolina (and the United States), San Miguel de Gualdape.
A variety of difficulties led to its abandonment by 1527, but a second Spanish settlement near present-day Beaufort, Santa Elena, served as the capital of “La Florida,” the name given to Spain’s holdings in the Southeast, from 1566 to 1576. After Spanish settlers abandoned the Santa Elena site in 1587, Franciscan friars from missions along the coast continued to visit Indian communities in the area. Spain lost its claims to most of present-day South Carolina in the 1670 Treaty of Madrid with Great Britain.
The terms “Hispanic” and “Latino” apply to a broad category of U.S. residents that include persons of Latin American and/or Spanish ancestry. Tremendous diversity exists within these groups in terms of national origin, socioeconomic class, educational attainment, and other characteristics. While a sizable Spanish-speaking population has resided in the United States throughout its history, the volume of Hispanic immigration in the late twentieth century resulted in this group becoming this country’s largest minority population by the year 2000.
Following national trends, South Carolina experienced a rise in its Hispanic population beginning in the second half of the twentieth century. New residents of Cuban and Puerto Rican origin arrived beginning in the 1960s, largely due to military and industrial employment. Colombians, most employed in the textile industry, immigrated to the upstate in the 1970s, and beginning in the 1990s large numbers of Mexican and Central American immigrants arrived. Because of these and other factors (as well as factors in Latin America such as deteriorating economic and political conditions), South Carolina was among eight states with the fastest-growing Hispanic population in the 1990s.
Census data reports that their numbers more than tripled in that decade to 95,076, or 2.4 percent of the total state population. Analysts agree, however, that Hispanics across the nation are largely undercounted in the census process. The census of 2000 revealed that the majority (fifty-six percent) of Hispanic residents of South Carolina were of Mexican origin, followed by Central and South Americans. Thirteen percent were Puerto Rican, and three percent were of Cuban origin.
The impact of this new population group is seen through changes in popular culture, supermarket and restaurant offerings, bilingual signage, the emergence of Spanish-language media, and in public education. It is also evident in their economic contribution, particularly in labor-intensive, low-wage industries. Further, the purchasing power of Hispanics in South Carolina in 2002 was estimated at more than $2.2 billion.
A commission appointed by South Carolina Gov. Jim Hodges in 2000 recommended that the state government make sweeping changes, particularly in the area of social services, to keep pace with the growing Hispanic population. South Carolina, as did many states that saw tremendous growth in Latino residents, scrambled to accommodate its new residents.
Editor’s note: The U.S. Census estimated in 2017 that 267,398 people in South Carolina (5.5 percent of a total population of 4.9 million) were of Hispanic descent. More.
