The aC mden African-American Heritage Project Description This report is divided into six sections that present a history of African Americans in Camden, South Carolina from the perspective of historic preservation. The first three sections constitute the historical narrative, organized into three general time periods: the colonial period through the Civil War, emancipation and Reconstruction through the civil rights movement, and a short section on the recent past since about 1970. Within each of these sections, the report assesses political participation, economic life, the impact of war, education, religion, and the built environment. Section four offers a set of recommendations for how the information in this report can be used to encourage public education about black Camden and preservation of the city‘s African-American historic resources. The primary and secondary sources consulted in this study are listed in the bibliography in section five. The ppea ndix in section six contains a map and database of black Camden in 1941, based on the treasure trove of information in the city directory of that year.

The Price House, ca. 1920s Acknowledgments A successful community-based public history project necessarily draws upon the support of many people. This history of African Americans in Camden has benefited from the help of a number of individuals and organizations in both Camden and Columbia. First and foremost, we thank those who allowed us to speak with them about Camden and its history, sometimes sharing painful and difficult memories. Our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Daisy Alexander, Jaspar and Pearl Boswell, Duke Brown, Richard Darby, Elsie Goines, Frankie Hull, Bettye Lewis, Janie Lloyd, James McGirt, Vivian Metze, Ruby Minton, Perry Palmer, Carl and Mollye Robinson, Leila Salmond, Rev. Otis Scott, Jr., Mary Sue Truesdale, Dr. Althea Truitt, Rev. George Watson, Ella Whitaker, Johnny Williams, and Charles and Gladys Wood. For directing us to promising research sources we are indebted to local historians Joan and Glen Inabinet for their many insights. At the Camden Archives and Museum, we thank Agnes Corbett, Howard Branham, Peggy Brakefield, Dallas Phelps, and Barbara Rogers. Hope Cooper of the Steeplechase Museum provided information and contacts on the horse industry. Kathee Stahl shared materials at the Kershaw County Historical Society. We are very grateful for research assistance at several libraries of the University of South Carolina. We thank Beth Bilderback, Robin Copp, Graham Duncan, and Allen Stokes at the South Caroliniana Library and Kate Moore at South Carolina Political Collections. At the Thomas Cooper Library, Kate Boyd made available to us digitized versions of several maps. Nicholas Meriwether of the South Caroliniana Library was kind enough to speak to the class at length about his knowledge and experience with oral history projects. As much as anyone, Clarence Mahoney made this report possible. As chair of the Camden Historic Landmarks Commission, he began working with the Public History Program at the University of South Carolina in 2005 to discuss community interests and needs, to locate sources of funding, and to devise impeccable logistical arrangements for our visits to Camden during the spring semester 2006. We thank Sarah Davis for making us feel at home in our temporary offices in the Price House. Betty Slade was a patient point of contact in helping set up many of our interviews. A number of Camden residents offered advice, support, and assistance: Clifton H. Anderson, Clifton W. Anderson, Jr., Davie Beard, Harrison and Linda Bennett, Joanna Craig, E. Mike McClendon, Sam Montgomery, and Elizabeth Shaw. We thank Mayor Mary Clark and the members of City Council for their generous financial underwriting of project expenses. Several residents were kind enough to read and comment on a draft of the historical narrative: Agnes Corbett, Sarah Davis, Joan and Glen Inabinet, Clarence Mahoney, Vivian Metze, Carl and Mollye Robinson, and Betty Slade. For permission to use images in their possession, we acknowledge Davie Beard and Mary Sue Truesdale, as well as the South Caroliniana Library and the South Carolina Department of iv Archives and History. Richard Sidebottom of the South Carolina Department of Archives and History first brought the project to the attention of the Public History Program, and his colleagues Leah Brown, David Kelly, and Christopher Ziegler have all gone out of their way to lend their support. As the Geographic Information Systems Coordinator at the Department of Archives and History, Chad Long has been especially generous with his advice and his time to enable us to create the maps in this report. Daniel Vivian of the National Register of Historic Places in Washington, D.C. offered wise counsel on conceptualizing the project in its early stages. We thank all who assisted us in this project but note that none of these individuals or organizations is responsible for the conclusions and historical interpretations in this report. v Executive Summary This report is divided into six sections that present a history of African Americans in Camden, South Carolina from the perspective of historic preservation. The first three sections constitute the historical narrative, organized into three general time periods: the colonial period through the Civil War, emancipation and Reconstruction through the civil rights movement, and a short section on the recent past since about 1970. Within each of these sections, the report assesses political participation, economic life, the impact of war, education, religion, and the built environment. Section four offers a set of recommendations for how the information in this report can be used to encourage public education about black Camden and preservation of the city‘s African-American historic resources. The primary and secondary sources consulted in this study are listed in the bibliography in section five. The appendix in section six contains a map and database of black Camden in 1941, based on the treasure trove of information in the city directory of that year. vi Origins of the Project and Methodology It sometimes seems as if history stops about 1781 in Camden. The state tourism board promotes Camden as part of ―The Olde English District,‖ a label it coined to commemorate early English settlement of this inland region and the many battles of the American Revolution that were fought there.

    Release Date: April 23, 2018 CERL Report on The Ethics of Interrogation and the Rule of Law Release Date: April 23, 2018 CERL Report on The Ethics of Interrogation and the Rule of Law I. Introduction On January 25, 2017, President Trump repeated his belief that torture works1 and reaffirmed his commitment to restore the use of harsh interrogation of detainees in American custody.2 That same day, CBS News released a draft Trump administration executive order that would order the Intelligence Community (IC) and Department of Defense (DoD) to review the legality of torture and potentially revise the Army Field Manual to allow harsh interrogations.3 On March 13, 2018, the President nominated Mike Pompeo to replace Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State, and Gina Haspel to replace Mr. Pompeo as Director of the CIA. Mr. Pompeo has made public statements in support of torture, most notably in response to the Senate Intelligence Committee’s 2014 report on the CIA’s use of torture on post-9/11 detainees,4 though his position appears to have altered somewhat by the time of his confirmation hearing for Director of the CIA, and Ms. Haspel’s history at black site Cat’s Eye in Thailand is controversial, particularly regarding her oversight of the torture of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri5 as well as her role in the destruction of video tapes documenting the CIA’s use of enhanced interrogation techniques.6 In light of these actions, President Trump appears to be signaling his support for legalizing the Bush-era techniques applied to detainees arrested and interrogated during the war on terror.
