Semi-Permanent Exhibits
Early African American Education in Pickens County
CAAAM's semi-permanent exhibit features the Calhoun Colored School and the Rosenwald Schools in Pickens County. On display are Cecil Williams' pictures that capture a time when the African American community exercised their rights to protest segregation. The photography is a snapshot of defiance in South Carolina which led to the first supreme court case, Briggs v. Elliot. This case was one of five supreme court cases that led to the victory of desegregation of schools in the United States.
Briggs v. Elliot
