Want to celebrate Black History Month with a fine video? Among our holdings is Palmetto Places: St. Helena Island, an SCETV production about the history and culture of St. Helena Island. Viewers see the historic sites of Penn Center and the Chapel of Ease. Viewers hear the cadence of the Gullah in the music of the Hallelujah Singers. Viewers can watch a master net-maker at work.

Check out the video from any of our branch libraries. Palmetto Places: St. Helena Island (Call number): 917.5799 PAL.

For the more research minded person willing to do a bit of work, the BDC has a bibliography of resources we have about St. Helena Island in the Research Room. All you have to do is ask. Call us at 470-6525 or e-mail me at gracec@bcgov.net.
