The Sterling Community in Greenville, South Carolina, is a significant, legacy Black neighborhood in the Southeast. With its emergence in the 1890s through the establishment of a high school for young Black Americans by Reverend Daniele Melton Minus, a tradition for education and excellence began. The son of former enslaved people, Reverend Minus was supported by philanthropist Mrs. E.R. Sterling, who the school – and later the neighborhood – were named after.
