Yes, Lord, I Know the Road: A Documentary History of African Americans in South Carolina, 1526 – 2008 (2017, USC Press) is the first comprehensive history of African Americans in the Palmetto State.

Brent Morris, Associate Professor of History and Chair of the Humanities Department, at USC Beaufort, examines the unique history of African Americans in South Carolina. It is a history that is recorded in documents. And Morris brings together a wide variety of annotated primary-source documents to highlight the significant people, events, social and political movements, and ideas that have shaped black life in South Carolina and beyond. - (Originally broadcast 07/14/17) - News and Music Stations: Fri, Nov 20, 12 pm; Sat, Nov 21, 7 am News & Talk Stations: Fri, Nov 20, 12 pm; Sun, Nov 22, 4 pm
