Conference, May 2022

In May 2022, the Huguenot Society of South Carolina co-sponsored the French Colonial Historic Society’s (FCHS) 46th Annual Meeting in Charleston. This event was organized with College of Charleston's Carolina Lowcountry and Atlantic World Program (CLAW). The conference invited members to come and participate in paneled discussions with scholars and researchers.

Society President, Hagood Morrison chaired a discussion on the Flers that included a valuable Charleston connection. Morrison was joined by journalist Fritz Hamer, Alain Yvette Lerichomme of the City of Flers, and CEO of Charleston Sister Sites International, Neita Weiss.

During the conference, the Society held our 136th Annual Meeting, which featured keynote speaker, Robert Nash. During his lecture, he gave a presentation titled “What is a Huguenot and What is a Huguenot Descendant?” This was the first annual meeting to be held at the College of Charleston’s Stern Student Center.
