Mother Emanuel AME Church on Calhoun Street in Charleston is a beautiful and historic church that embodies the spirit of Charleston and does much in the community.

I left my sunflower and returned to our hotel, on those same nightmare streets that are so difficult for the disabled They are also making a lot of money. I hope that it is shared with other churches. This was a visit was for a disabled person so it might be different for others…

If you have the chance to spend time with these folks, I definitely recommend it as part of your time in Charleston.…
