(S1E6) Freedom Was the Curriculum: 163 Years of the Penn Center
How has the Penn Center functioned as a hub for Black freedom and cultural preservation for over 160 years?
Founded in 1862 as one of the first schools for formerly enslaved people, the Penn Center has long been a cornerstone of Black self-determination on St. Helena Island. Today, it remains a vital force for cultural preservation and land retention in the Gullah Geechee corridor.
In this episode, Executive Director Dr. Robert Adams discusses the modern threats and challenges to the center and St. Helena Island, and how the Center is using traditional education and mutual aid to help families protect their ancestral land.
