Four new resources added to the African American Civil Rights Network

The Progressive Club of Johns Island

The Progressive Club Sea Island Center on Johns Island, South Carolina played an important role in the Civil Rights Movement, as it was the site for the development of continued adult education, social history, politics, ethnic heritage, recreation, & commerce for the African American community of the Sea Islands. The structure served as a community center, home for the club's legal and financial assistance programs, adult education program, dormitory lodging, and as a community recreational facility, child care center, meeting place and grocery store.
