SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:Native American Resilience in South Carolina \nPresented by Joshua Shumak \nIn 1513\, the first European settlement in what is now South Carolina was established on Parris Island. It’s inhabitants were the first of many settlers to cross the Atlantic Ocean and settle in the area\, but the land had been occupied for centuries by various tribes of Native peoples. Over several era’s of American history\, Native Americans have faced disease\, violence\, and exile from land once held by their ancestors. As the populations of several of these tribes dwindled\, the preservation of their culture was a struggle\, but many members of these tribes still remain\, and their voices come together to tell the history of their peoples. Join Joshua Shumak as he highlights the resilience and challenges of Native American communities in South Carolina. \nJoshua Shumak is Vice Chief of the Wassamasaw Tribe of Varnertown Indians and Native American Affairs Program Coordinator for the South Carolina Commission for Minority Affairs. A nationally respected advocate and educator\, he has received multiple Keys to the City and became one of the the youngest recipients of the Order of the Palmetto\, South Carolina’s highest civilian honor. His work has earned numerous national and international awards for leadership\, cultural preservation\, and public service. In 2024\, Joshua made history as the first representative of a South Carolina–recognized tribe to speak at the United Nations Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Geneva. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:

SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:Military Working Dogs \nPresented by Albert Johnson\nMilitary working dogs have played a vital role in U.S. military history for over a century\, serving with courage\, loyalty\, and unmatched skill. Their official use dates back to World War I\, but it was during World War II that they were formally integrated into the armed forces through the “Dogs for Defense” program. These canine warriors have since served in every major conflict\, from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan\, performing tasks like detecting explosives\, locating wounded soldiers\, and guarding military installations. Trained alongside their handlers\, these dogs form unbreakable bonds with their human partners\, often saving lives on and off the battlefield. Today\, military working dogs are recognized not just as tools of war\, but as fellow service members\, honored for their bravery and dedication. Join Albert Johnson\, President of the Military Working Dog Heritage Museum\, as he explores the history and dedication of these canine heroes. \nAlbert Johnson is the co-founder and President of the Military Working Dog Heritage Museum in Newport\, Tennessee. With immense passion\, he champions the recognition and preservation of the incredible history surrounding military working dogs\, their dedicated handlers\, and the remarkable K9 military community. A proud former member of the United States Marine Corps from 2004 to 2009\, Albert completed three deployments\, serving in pivotal missions in Jalalabad\, Afghanistan\, and Baghdad\, Iraq. His hands-on experiences as a handler and trainer with Specialized Search Dogs like SSD Rexi and SSD Johnny have fueled his commitment to this important cause. Albert earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business from Maryville College and is pursuing a Master’s degree in Museum Studies\, intending to establish a museum dedicated to preserving America’s military K9 history. Under his thoughtful leadership\, the museum team not only preserves the rich legacy of military working dogs but also educates and inspires the public about their invaluable contributions. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT - Battleground Carolina: A Prelude to War with Durant Ashmore
DESCRIPTION:A 10-month lecture series meeting on the first Tuesday at 5:30 PM of the listed months below.\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin historian Durant Ashmore in an engaging lecture series that explores the American Revolutionary War through the lens of South Carolina’s Backcountry\, a region whose people\, terrain\, and battles played a critical role in the struggle for independence.

The series will highlight how guerrilla warfare\, local loyalties\, and geographic factors shaped the course of the war in South Carolina\, ultimately and directly influencing the outcome of the Revolution. \n  \n\nJanuary 6  |  February 3  |  March 3  |  April 7  |  May 5  |  June 2  |  August 4  |  September 1  |  October 6  |  November 3 \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLecture #1 – January 6: A Prelude to War\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nReservations are required.
