SC African American History Calendar: October Honoree - Rollin Sisters | Stories | September 30, 2023
William and Margarette Rollin of Charleston, S.C. had five daughters between 1845 and 1861 that made substantial contributions to S.C. illustrating courage, leadership, and fortitude in the face of perilous times. Frances (born 1845), Charlotte (born 1849), Kate (born 1851), Louise (born 1858), and Florence (born 1861) left a collective legacy that lives on today. As activists, authors, teachers, abolitionists, and feminists, these sisters’ imprint on the state came during a timewhen Black women were not granted access to the corridors of power. - September 30, 2023
