SUMMARY:D-Day\, June 6\, 1944: The Memory Lives On
DESCRIPTION:D-Day\, June 6\, 1944: The Memory Lives On\nMay 18\, 2024 – April 27\, 2025 \nNormandy\, France will forever be marked by the June 6\, 1944\, D-Day Landings and the Battle of Normandy that led to the liberation of France and Europe.  2024 will mark the 80th Anniversary of this historic event. The Upcountry History Museum\, in its commitment to collecting\, preserving\, and disseminating the Upstate’s local history and to connecting it to national and international history\, will honor this momentous occasion with a special exhibition. \nJune 6\, 1944: More than 156\,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy\, France\, as part of the largest seaborne invasion in history.  Known as “D-Day\,” the name and date loom large in the memory of WWII.  D-Day put the Allies on a decisive path toward victory.  Beginning with the Normandy beaches\, they pushed back the Axis forces until Germany was forced to surrender less than a year later.  Their achievements were not accomplished without tremendous sacrifice\, as the Normandy invasion resulted in over 6\,000 American casualties. \nThe Upcountry History Museum\, in partnership with the Naval History and Heritage Command\, Washington\, DC\, will honor the individuals without whom D-Day would not have been a success: soldiers and sailors\, doctors and nurses\, engineers and pilots\, enlisted men and officers\, seasoned fighters and those who had never been in combat. These veterans stormed the beaches\, directed the landings\, sailed or flew in support of the invasion\, parachuted or piloted gliders into France\, and arrived in the days after June 6\, to continue the perilous work of pushing back and defeating the German Army. \nArtifacts\, uniforms\, archival materials\, ephemera\, art and more will share this remarkable moment in history and provide answers to What is D-Day? How do you get an army across the English Channel and into France when your enemy is well armed\, well trained\, and expecting you? How did a single day and its aftermath ultimately liberate Western Europe\, defeat Nazi Germany and end the Second World War? \nThe exhibition will include the contributions and sacrifices of Upstate South Carolinians\, many of whom were in their teens\, to commemorate their participation in the largest invasion ever assembled and to ensure that “the memory lives on.” \n  \n  \nSupport provided by \n  \n                      \n

SUMMARY:Frida Kahlo: Through the Lens of Nickolas Muray
DESCRIPTION:Frida Kahlo: Through the Lens of Nickolas Muray\nJune 29\, 2024 – October 13\, 2024 \nIn its commitment to connecting people\, history\, and culture\, the Upcountry History Museum will present FRIDA KAHLO: THROUGH THE LENS OF NICKOLAS MURAY\, an exhibition organized by the Nickolas Muray Photo Archives and managed by GuestCurator Traveling Exhibitions. \nOn display June 29 through October 13\, 2024\, the exhibit presents an intimate look at Frida Kahlo\, Mexico’s most prolific and well-known female artist\, through the camera lens of photographer Nickolas Muray. \nIn May 1931\, Muray (1892-1965) traveled to Mexico on vacation where he met Frida Kahlo (1907-1954)\, a woman he would never forget.  The two started a romance that continued\, both on and off for the next ten years and a friendship that lasted until her death in 1954. \nApproximately 50 photographic portraits taken by Muray of Kahlo are featured in the exhibition.  The photographs\, dating from 1937 to 1946\, explore Muray’s unique perspective\, as Kahlo’s friend\, companion and confidant. Muray’s photographs bring to light Kahlo’s deep interest in her Mexican heritage\, her life and travels\, and the people with whom she shared a close friendship. \nBorn in Hungary\, Nickolas Muray became a successful New York fashion and commercial photographer known for his portraits of celebrities\, politicians\, socialites\, and artists.  Having experimented with color from early on in his career\, he found his most colorful model in Frida Kahlo. \nMuray photographed Kahlo more than any of his subjects.  The portraits featured in the exhibition have made their way into a variety of media and popular culture and are integral to the world’s understanding of who Frida Kahlo was as an individual behind her artwork. \nFrida Kahlo was born on July 6\, 1907\, in Coyoacan\, Mexico City\, Mexico.  Kahlo began painting after she was severely injured in a bus accident.  Kahlo later became politically active and married fellow communist artist Diego Rivera in 1929.  She exhibited her paintings in Paris and Mexico before her death in 1954. \nIn addition to Muray’s candid photographs of Kahlo\, the exhibition also includes reproductions of various Kahlo paintings and letters exchanged between the two artists.   \n  \nSupport provided by \n            \nTracy and Charles Hardaway \n

SUMMARY:POSTPONED-Revolution in the Carolinas
DESCRIPTION:This lecture has been postponed due to the effects of Hurricane Helene.\nThe Grim Years: Settling South Carolina\, 1670-1720\nPresented by Dr. John Navin\, Coastal Carolina University \nAs the thirteen colonies were established in the “New World” the roots of the American Revolution were planted. The vast colony of Carolina\, divided in 1710 into North and South Carolina\, saw rapid transformation in its early years. Issues arose with the English Lords Proprietors\, trade with Native American tribes was lucrative but deadly for both sides\, and the growing slave trade at the Port of Charles Town led to an economic dependence on slave labor. It was in South Carolina’s infancy that religious\, political\, and economic turmoil laid the groundwork for the American Revolution. \nDr. John Navin earned his master’s degree at Boston College and his Ph.D. at Brandeis University. A Boston native\, John Navin joined the History department at Coastal Carolina University in 1999. He previously taught at Brandeis and Pfeiffer Universities. A specialist in Early American history\, Navin has published works that focus on race\, warfare\, gender\, and the impact of colonizing ventures on groups and individuals. In 2020\, he published The Grim Years: Settling South Carolina\, 1670-1720. \n \n  \n  \nRevolution in the Carolinas is generously sponsored by:\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:The Hidden History of the Dark Corner\nPresented by Drew Hines\n  \nThe Dark Corner is a region shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Both the oldest standing bridge and the only remaining covered bridge in South Carolina are found in the Dark Corner. An exclusive country club with a world-class golf course once stood on the craggy peaks of Hogback Mountain until the Great Depression forced its closure. The ghostly remains of the Blue Ridge Forest Resort can still be seen there today. The only person ever to die on the witness stand in Greenville County was Dark Corner resident “Big Alec” Campbell. A Shootout at a Baptist church high atop Glassy Mountain in 1891 exceeded the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral in the number of shots fired. Drew Hines details these stories and more in his book Hidden History of the Dark Corner. \nDrew Hines is a native of Greensboro\, North Carolina\, but has spent most of his life in the upstate of South Carolina. A Baptist minister for forty-three years\, he is now retired and enjoys writing\, gardening\, and traveling. He received his undergraduate degree at the University of South Carolina\, and two advanced degrees from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville\, KY. \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:
