Saturday, June 9th, 2018, the public is invited to Fort Moultrie on Sullivan’s Island for the 21st annual memorial and healing rite in Charleston, SC. Similar programs will take place simultaneously at numerous ports around the world, including New York, California, Washington, Virginia, Panama, The Virgin Islands, Brazil, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Ghana. Remembrance programs are held on the Atlantic coast or near another body of water. Charleston is an important historical location for this tribute as it was the port of entry for 40 to 60 percent of enslaved Africans arriving to America’s shores as human cargo. www.RemembertheAncestors.com

We ask those attending to meet in the auditorium of the Fort Moultrie Visitor’s Center promptly at 9:30 a.m.
