NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) Growing up on James Island, Jacinta Bryant understood the value of education at a young age.
Every morning on her way to school, Bryant’s mother would drive her past McLeod Plantation. She would watch as the white houses, formerly occupied by slaves, went by her window.
“My mom always said to me when we passed by, ‘You know what? Your ancestors were killed and severely beaten just because they wanted to learn to read and write,’” Bryant, who is Black, said. “‘There were grave consequences for them, but those consequences should be placed in a positive light for you. I want you to build from that foundation.’”

COLLETON COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) - Colleton County schools say they will begin offering a five-day-a-week, in-person school schedules for students for the first time since the pandemic began.
The county says the option opens Monday, after Governor Henry McMaster signed a new bill stating all districts must offer their students the option of attending school in-person, five-days a week.
Colleton County School District Communications Coordinator Sean Gruber says they were already planning this return, so, when the new bill passed last week, they just sped up the return process.
