Avery Research Center - College of Charleston

I had a wonderful experience here and was lucky enough to be guided on a tour with William, a student at the university who works at the center. He was truly excellent in so many ways, he was very knowledgeable and kind, and he knew a tremendous amount about the history. This was the highlight of my trip and I feel so blessed to have come!

A unique museum that celebrates black culture, talented artists and features some really special historical pieces. It's tucked away in a neighborhood, so if you weren't looking for it, you may miss it on your visit to Charleston. But since you're visiting a city, built on top of the graves of black Americans, you should make a point to search it out. It's well worth it.

I planned a trip to Charleston that included visiting this research center. However, upon coming during the hours and days listed on the website, it was closed. I am thankful that Charleston is a beautiful and walkable city otherwise…

July 22, 2022 Emily Meggett Day "Gullah Geechee Home Cooking" new book President's Volunteer Award #### Amazing.. The West Africa to Lowcountry Dinner #chswineandfood was amazing. Great works Chef BJ Dennis, Chef Binta, Chef Cybille & Chef Omar!!

Great information for African American people, and children in general. There were original literature, publications and photos highlighting the history of Blacks during Slavery & Segregation and individuals who set the path to uplift the community.

I visited Avery Research Center in 2009 and enjoyed it. I took my family from out of town last Friday July 1st and was rather disappointed. We were left to explore on our own no guided tour.

Looks like a place for blacks. So why would a white person go juat to complain? Should have been learning about your history and not ours.

When they interview some of the Alumni with Dr. Chandelier and Jack McCray. Especially the one with James Jameson
