Claflin University, located in Orangeburg, South Carolina, was founded in 1869 by Alonzo Webster (1818-1887), a Vermont minister. Webster came to South Carolina to teach at the Baker Bible Institute in Charleston training African American ministers for the Methodist Episcopal Church (today the United Methodist Church). In 1869 he received a charter from the state of South Carolina to establish a college that would prepare freed slaves for the responsibilities of citizenship. The first charter banned discrimination among the faculty, staff and students, making the Academy the first South Carolina university open to all regardless of race. Nonetheless, all of the students at the Academy were African American.

The property was very clean. It is an older home and there was a smell in there when we arrived. We sprayed Lysol to try to get rid of the smell but it didn’t work. Probably just needs to be aired out. The master bedroom ceiling fan doesn’t work and the master bathroom shower head wasn’t properly ...
