This makes sense, in Charleston, there is a large armory, that is not open to public, that has more weapons than the museum. "The state would not arm us, so we had to get our guns elsewhere. Our efforts to stop riots and demonstrations were not sanctioned by the government." The Black population was the majority at that time, but not one photo of a Black, among hundreds of soldier photos in that Armory.
It is in a large beautiful classic building on Meeting St. and the members are proud that their elders helped stop race riots in Charleston's history. Washington Light Infantry is name on Bronze Plaque outside on locked gate. Vigilantes?
