Episdoe 144: Defining Charleston’s Free People of Color

from Charleston Time Machine · host Nic Butler, Ph.D.

Freedom and slavery were the opposing states of being that defined the lives of most early Charlestonians, but our community also hosted a small population of people who lived between those legal poles. The city’s “free people of color” enjoyed a modicum of liberty, but the law viewed their skin color and ancestry as a bar from full civil rights.
