Camden Parlor Talk: The Cost of the Vote

Join author, Carolyn Click in a discussion of her latest book about George Elmore’s  fight for the right to vote in South Carolina. South Carolina was an important battleground for the Civil Rights movement. Briggs v. Elliot was a key victory in Brown v. Board of Education, which led to desegregation in schools. George Elmore’s case before Judge J. Waties Waring was instrumental in allowing Black Americans the right to vote. These smaller victories helped win the bigger federal battles – but everything comes at a cost. 

The University of South Carolina Press will be on site selling copies of Ms. Click’s book. Credit Card only.
