Children standing outside of Promise Land School, Johns Island, SC, in 1954. Septima Clark’s first teaching job was here in 1916, but conditions were still inadequate in the 1950s, when local leaders were advocating for improved public services for Johns Island’s Black residents. | Source: Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture, College of Charleston, Charleston, SC.
