Author Joseph McGill, Jr. to Present The Slave Dwelling Project

A Black Man with glasses and gray facial hair sits in the bedroom of a wooden slave dwelling.

For the past 16 years, Joe McGill has been sleeping in former slave dwellings throughout the United States. His adventures are now chronicled in the book Sleeping with the Ancestors: How I Followed the Footprints of Slavery. Join us at the Horry County Museum at 1 p.m. on Saturday, February 7 as McGill discusses why this simple act is still being requested by historic sites of enslavement.
