Cooper River Bridge
May 27th, 2009 |
Headed over the Cooper River Bridge on my way out of Charleston, SC over Memorial Day Weekend.
Did you know the first Memorial Day was originally held in Charleston, SC and organized by former slaves?
It was May 1, 1865, but they called it Decoration Day.
On that day, former Charleston slaves started a tradition that would come to be known as Memorial Day.
