Franklin Williams was a man fed up with the white-washed, picture-perfect, scripted retelling of a history he knew left out the most important part; The Africans enslaved who built it.

Franklin Williams has been in the tourism industry since 2001, and since starting Frankly Charleston in 2015, he has been committed to learning as much about city slave life in Colonial Charleston as he can. Picking out discrepancies from truth, and only delivering pure fact to his guest. He may tell you a joke, but he’ll never tell you a lie!

Frankly Charleston has been featured in Condé Nast, Forbes, Fodors Travel, The Miami Herald, and is a local media darling (naturally!)
