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.
Ate here because we wanted something different from the regular fast food places. We have never been here but the employees help out with the ordering process. It's chicken burger was spectacular according to my sister I had the burger it was very fatty but in the end it did taste good. If your looking for something new and unique come and stop in. Oh yeah it's like a sonic- drive thru only.

My only displeasure with the Room was a light that couldn’t be turned off and lights located on headboard didn’t work. The facility itself was very clean and it was easy to locate.

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 ...
