Barnwell\, Jr\, Carolyn Grant\, Emory Shaw Campbell\nThe history of Gullah Islanders is an American story. Hilton Head Island was one of the first areas liberated by Union troops after the Battle of Fort Sumter. With plantation owners absent\, the formerly enslaved Gullah people embarked on the activities of freedom: enlisting in the Union army; creating the first black-governed community in the South\, complete with a police force; and\, when formal emancipation arrived\, running for office\, campaigning\, and voting. This book illustrates in vivid detail the story of that post-Civil War era and the tangles perils of Reconstruction that followed\, along with the progress and setbacks of African Americans in the South over the next century. \nYou must register in order to receive the Zoom link to the Authors Chats!

They will have to make choices that will affect whether we are living in a world in which the number of nuclear weapons is going up or going down. These choices will be related to both internal and external policies. Should we use nuclear weapons first in a crisis? Do we need more than one person involved in the authorization of a nuclear strike? Is it is a good idea to invest in new low-yield nuclear capabilities? Should we reenter what’s left of the Iran Deal? How do we make arms control agreements with Russia when the trust between our nations is broken? \nBell will outline current global nuclear threats and their related policy choices. She will then discuss how the President and Congress can and should respond to those threats. \nAlexandra Bell is the Senior Policy Director at the Center for Arms Control & Non-Proliferation. Her areas of focus include bilateral and multilateral arms control and non-proliferation\, Euro-Atlantic security\, diplomacy\, and Congressional affairs. Previously\, Bell served as a Senior Advisor in the Office of the Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security. Before joining the Department of State in 2010\, she worked on nuclear policy issues at the Ploughshares Fund and the Center for American Progress.

In 1663\, William Hilton\, a mariner born in England\, was hired by a group in Barbados to find new lands for them to settle. Hilton led an exploration of the Port Royal Sound area\, where he named a high bluff of land Hiltons Head as a navigational marker for future sailors. The island began as a sparsely populated area on the fringe of English settlement in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries\, when it was called Trench’s Island on some maps. \nYou must register in order to receive the Zoom link to the Authors Chats!

Sanger\nHeritage tourism is a driving economic force in much of the coastal southeastern United States\, including on Hilton Head Island\, one of the most popular destinations for vacationers in the country. \nWorking with local community members in developing a diverse and multipronged public archaeology program\, we helped facilitate research and develop programming at the Baynard Mausoleum and Zion Chapel of Ease Cemetery. \nUsing a constellation of techniques\, including geophysical surveys\, genetic testing of human remains\, and limited excavations\, research conducted at Baynard-Zion provides an opportunity to enhance public perception and understanding of pivotal historic events and people on the island while also assisting in development plans that promote heritage tourism.
