The Library of Congress features a photo that shows a first floor room at the Arnett House located on the campus of Penn School- one of the first schools for formerly enslaved African Americans established on St. Helena Island in Beaufort, South Carolina. The room shown is one of the places where Dr. Marlin Luther King, Jr. worked and made plans during the Civil Rights Movement.
