-
Hampton park is today what the racecourse was then.
-
It's named for Wade Hampton,
-
the white supremacist, redeemer, and governor
-
of South Carolina at the end of reconstruction
-
and a Confederate general during the Civil War.
-
And that park sits immediately adjacent to the citadel,
-
The military academy of Charleston.
-
On any given day you can see at any given time
-
about 100 or 200 citadel cadets jogging
-
on the track of the old racecourse.
-
There is no marker, there's no memento,
-
there's only a little bit of a memory.
