The Charleston Rifle Club was founded in 1855 to promote good marksmanship. Though its sign, with its lion-flanked escutcheon and Gothic lettering, gives off a whiff of high society, the club’s membership spans classes, embracing socialites and police officers, lawyers and factory workers. But it could find no place for Dr. W. Melvin Brown III, a respected emergency-room doctor and native Charlestonian. He was nominated to be a member of #charlestonrifleclub by friends inside of it. In a secret ballot, 11 of the 50-odd club members in attendance denied him admission. The plan to make him the all-white club’s first black member had been both casual and serious. He had white drinking buddies who belonged to the club, and they wanted him to be able to join them there for a beer or two. But it was also a calculated effort to nudge a tradition-soaked Southern city into the 21st century. When they met with resistance, his friends were furious, and disappointment and embarrassment spread through #Charleston. @huntermcrae took this photo. Visit the link in our profile to see more.
