No, this isn’t a political post, it’s more photos from my April Charleston vacation. Charleston did a booming business in slaves and we visited the Custom House — a government building alongside the old slave mart — and the town’s Slavery Museum. Here are some exhibits.
Along with those newspaper ads above, there was this auction announcement below.
And of course, some monuments.
Despite the memorials, I give Charleston credit for not softsoaping the ugliness of slavery in the museum exhibits.
Next photos will be more cheerful.
