This report traces the history of African Americans at Fort Pulaski and on Cockspur Island from the colonial era to the twentieth century. It explains the significance of the Fort Pulaski National Monument as an African American heritage site and highlights the fort’s history as a place “of struggle, community, and triumph.”1 In addition, the report establishes the park’s connection to other Lowcountry historic sites, including the First African Baptist Church in Savannah (https://firstafricanbc.com), the Reconstruction Era National Historical Park in Beaufort (www.nps.gov/reer/index.htm), and Historic Mitchelville (https://exploremitchelville.org) on Hilton Head Island.
