Charleston and it's Afro-Americans

As a travel enthusiast in my younger days and a fan of travel documentaries at present, I have always liked books and other media on travel. In this way,  Foxlife TV  Channel has been of much interest to me. 

I had the pleasure of watching a program titled 'Padma Lakshmi's Taste of the Nation' in the channel. It featured Charleston, South Carolina, its people and their food. More importantly it gave an insight into how Afro-Americans in the city have contributed to the city's history. 

Such programs are like reading Mark Twain's novels. 

The program reminded me of my good looking caucasian penpal from this historic city, during my college days. I have written about her in my earlier posts.
