 The first Third Thursday Lecture of 2020 kicks off on February 27th* with local author, Greg Estevez, who will be presenting on Edisto Island, South Carolina, as well as his family connections to the rich history and heritage from slavery times to present day. Some may be surprised by the historical connection Mandarin has with Edisto Island. There once was a small African-American community on Old St. Augustine Road that was also called Edisto. The people who settled there had migrated from Edisto, SC to this area after the Civil War. They started a church there, Julington Baptist Church, one of Mandarin’s three historic African-American churches that still exist.
As the Mandarin Museum & Historical Society was undergoing research for the development of an exhibit on African-American history in Mandarin, which will be part of the newly expanded museum building, they came across a couple of names connected to Mandarin and Edisto communities. *Please note this lecture will be on the 4th Thursday of February due to a conflict at the Mandarin Community Club Third Thursday Lectures are presented by the Mandarin Museum & Historical Society in partnership with and held at the Mandarin Community Club, located at 12447 Mandarin Rd. Refreshments begin at 6:30 pm with the lecture at 7 pm. It is free and all are invited and encouraged to attend. Adapted from: Mandarin Museum & Historical Society Comments are closed.
