Description
Free & Equal (F&E) is an audio and augmented reality journey exploring a key moment in the history of Civil Rights. Using GPS, the app guides you from site-to-site through the National Reconstruction Era Historical Park in Beaufort, South Carolina. This area was home to the Port Royal Experiment, in which 8000 formerly enslaved people were armed, funded, trained, and empowered to build their own society 3 years before the end of the Civil War. This story reveals a small, often-forgotten moment in American history in which recently-freed-people owned their former plantations, literacy was spreading like wildfire, the Freedman’s bank was open to all, formerly enslaved people were elected to US Congress, and military power was firmly in the hands of African Americans.
The story is best heard walking and driving through Beaufort, SC, where you will find clues and hidden artifacts in this incredible story. But if you can’t make the trip, the app can be listened to as a highly-engaging podcast that comes to life in your living room via Augmented Reality.

Ratings and Reviews
Great storytelling and part of the story of Freedom trail
I’ve been telling stories as a tour guide in Beaufort South Carolina for 26 years, and this Port Royal experiment story I began to learn about that many years ago and started telling of its importance. It’s good to know there are more people learning of this piece of history and helping uncover the forgotten stories and peoples on the journey of our freedom as a nation and as a people. I will continue to follow y’all
Highlight of my vacation!
This app was excellent, telling a compelling story while guiding you through some thought-provoking history. I loved how the car travel from point to point was narrated and synced up with the typical travel time.
This app really enhanced my visit to Beaufort and made it a highlight of the trip to the Lowcountry
Well done
Interesting and informative easy listening pace- very well done.
