Keep up that fight!!! ✊🏿

The owners of Pine Island are once again asking Beaufort County to remove the approximately 502-acre property from the Cultural Protection Overlay, reopening a years-long fight over the zoning protections that prohibit golf courses, resorts and gated communities on St. Helena Island.

On a quiet sea island near Beaufort sits a place that helped change the course of American history — and most people have never heard of it. 📚
Penn School was founded in 1862 on St. Helena Island, making it one of the very first schools in the entire South created to educate formerly enslaved people. It was part of the "Port Royal Experiment," where freed men, women, and children in the Lowcountry began building new lives. For generations, it educated the Gullah Geechee community and helped preserve their unique culture and language. ✊
But the story didn't end in the 1800s. In the 1960s, the Penn Center became one of the only places in the segregated South where in*******al groups could safely meet — and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference held planning retreats there. From the dawn of freedom to the height of the Civil Rights Movement, this small South Carolina campus sat at the heart of the struggle.
