The African American Cultural Center and Concerned Citizens of Kershaw County invite the greater community to spend the day at the Center on Saturday, September 21. This open house and community gathering will include games for kids, storytelling, bingo, live music and entertainment for all, and community leaders and organizations providing information on our community’s most pertinent issues. Admission is free and open to the public. Food and beverages available for purchase.  Please bring your own lawn chair and family photos to be scanned and cataloged at the Camden Archives & Museum.

The African American Cultural Center of Camden exhibits artifacts and documents that examine and celebrate the lives and contributions of Camden’s African American community. The Center’s exhibits relate the stories of the African American experience here in Camden.

This day will also be an informative day to learn more about the components of the center and meet some of the 2024 candidates who will speak briefly about their platform for the upcoming November election.

The Community Day at the Center is just one of the many events the African American Cultural Center is hosting in September. Be sure to mark your calendar for the next “Let’s Talk About … Healing Through Reconciliation?” symposium at the Revolutionary War Visitor at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday September 14. Other events include a night of poetry and storytelling at Gallery 537, Tuesday, September 17 at 6:00 p.m. and “Artists in Sanctuary” at Camden Second Presbyterian Church on Sunday, September 22 at 2:00 p.m. We hope you can join in on all these events.
