2024 Calendar

The 2024 South Carolina African American History Calendar is one filled with inspiring stories of the extraordinary impact esteemed sons and daughters of our beloved Palmetto State have made locally, nationally, and even globally. The calendar cover is graced by one of South Carolina and America’s most inspirational daughters – Mary McLeod Bethune. With each page turned, our hope for readers is that they are encouraged and motivated to create positive change in their communities – just like our featured honorees have done in their lives.

Making a Difference

Calendar honorees are chosen for their accomplishments and profound impacts African American history and culture has had in the past, present, and future of our state and nation.
