Experiment in Freedom Video

Mary Long's Yesteryear: Penn School: Experiment In Freedom traces the history of the Port Royal Experiment and the establishment of Penn School, one of the first schools in the South for freed slaves. For more than 100 years, the school has played a historic and vital role in the lives of the South Carolina sea Island people. The program follows the history of the center, from its founding to its role in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.

Copies of the video are available through the Local History sections at our branch libraries. Some branches have VHS and DVD versions; some branches have only VHS; some branches have only DVD. Call numbers: 975.799 PEN or 370.9757 MAR
