The CLAW program has begun highlighting projects both new and established that focus on the contributions that enslaved blacks made to the Lowcountry's cultural, economic and social fiber. The goal is to provide local forums for the public to examine closely how those contributions have made the Lowcountry what it is. It will continue to highlight them through the end of 2008.

In March, Lewis will convene a conference on the slave trade and its effects on the American South, including Charleston as a slave-trading center and the illegal importation of slaves. The conference, "Ending the International Slave Trade: A Bicentenary Inquiry," is part of a wider bicentennial observance of the ban on international slave trading that includes England, which banned the trade in 1807, and other parts of the United States.
