South Carolina�s capital city enjoys a strong African-American presence, one that has had considerable influence on the growth and development of Columbia�s commerce and culture since the city�s creation in the late 1700s. The challenges of the antebellum South, Reconstruction, the Civil Rights era, and even the present have shaped a vibrant and dynamic black community, which supplies a wealth of leaders for the city, state, and nation.
