North of Main: Spartanburg's historic Black neighborhoods | Walter Edgar's Journal Podcast

This week, we’ll be talking with Betsy Teter and Jim Neighbors about their book, North of Main: Spartanburg's Historic Black Neighborhoods of North Dean Street, Gas Bottom, and Back of the College. In this book, co-authors Brenda Lee Pryce, Betsy Teter and Jim Neighbors tell the story of how post-emancipation black districts arose in Spartanburg and how they disappeared. In this episode we will talk about the history of the neighborhoods and introduce you to a few of the pioneering Black men and women who lived and worked in there. Join historian Dr. Walter Edgar and co-host Alfred Turner twice a month for conversations with guests about the history and culture of South Carolina and the American South – from the mysteries of okra to the long road to civil rights and much more.
