A huge congratulations to SC African- American Tourism Conference communications director Anisha Renee McDaniel for being featured in the article published on the Post and Courier about Black History and Tourism in SC. Thank you to the City of North Charleston and its leaders for the continuous support of the 2024 SC African American Tourism Conference

Renee McDaniel-Newkirk, communications director for the African American Tourism Council, said many of the things that visitors like about Charleston can be traced back to African American influences.

"People are interested in understanding history through stories," McDaniel-Newkirk said. "We were more than just slaves. We were craftsmen, we were entrepreneurs and a lot of what our ancestors contributed to Charleston makes the city what it is today."
