Joseph McGill, Jr., a native of Kingstree now living in the Charleston area, eats, breathes and sleeps African American history - literally. McGill is the founder of the nearly three-year-old Slave Dwelling Project, during which he has slept in 38 former slave cabins in 12 states to draw attention to the existence of the structures and to pay tribute to his enslaved ancestors. In March, McGill will sleep in a former slave dwelling at Hopsewee Plantation in Georgetown County. Bhakti Larry Hough interviews McGill about the Slave Dwelling Project on the current African American History Month special edition of Insight.
