THE NOVELSue Monk Kidd’s bestselling novel, “The Invention of Wings” (Jan. 2014), has brought the story of the Grimké Sisters to light and inspired this walking tour through downtown Charleston. Though known as unconventional abolitionists and feminists in their day, Angelina and Sarah Grimké have remained obscure in American history and (mostly) unrecognized in Charleston, city of their birth. Join us to learn more about them and their story.

The tour starts at the Charleston Library Society which is located at 164 King St. I will meet you on the bottom of the steps.There are 2 parking garages on Queen Street, both within a block of the Library Society. To get to them you will turn right off Meeting Street onto Queen Street. There is a parking garage on your left across from 82 Queen the restaurant. If that one is full, keep going to the light, cross over King Street and you will see a second garage on your left. Please do not park in the library society parking lot. That is for their members only and they will tow.Thanks MJ
