SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:Resisting Jim Crow: The Autobiography of Dr. John A. McFall\nPresented by Lahnice McFall Hollister\n“Injustice… is a cancer that is rapidly eating into the vitals of our nation.” A newspaper reported Dr. John A. McFall’s words at an annual program on race relations at a Charleston church in 1936. The details of how Dr. McFall and many thousands experienced the transition to Jim Crow in Charleston is vividly told in the book Resisting Jim Crow: The Autobiography of Dr. John A. McFall. Found in the Fisk University Library—the manuscript was not originally intended for publication. Dr. McFall’s grandniece\, Lahnice Hollister\, edited and published it in 2021 because “few African-American voices tell our lived history.” \n  \nDr. McFall’s life spanned the years between the end of Reconstruction in 1878 and the Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954. McFall’s emancipated parents had hoped for both freedom and equality for themselves and their children. Instead\, generations faced white supremacy and legalized segregation. \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:

SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:Injustice in Focus: The Civil Rights Photography of Cecil Williams \nPresented by Claudia Smith Brinson \nWitnessing peaceful protests\, police violence\, and the lives of ordinary citizens called to action during the turbulent Civil Rights Movement\, Cecil Williams became one of the few Southern Black photojournalists to document civil rights activism in South Carolina. Active throughout the state\, Williams captured pivotal movements including the arrival of Thurgood Marshall in Charleston for the arguing of Briggs v. Elliott\, a landmark case that was the first in the twentieth century to challenge the constitutionality of racially segregated schools. Nearly two decades later\, Williams’ photography documented the aftermath of South Carolina’s infamous Orangeburg Massacre. \nCoauthor Claudia Smith Brinson presents first-hand accounts of the Civil Rights Movement in South Carolina alongside images taken by Cecil Williams in her latest book Injustice in Focus: The Civil Rights Photography of Cecil Williams. Working with Williams\, she documents both his life behind the camera and the decades-long struggle for equality in the South. Claudia Smith Brinson is a newspaper journalist with over thirty years of experience as a senior writer for Knight Ridder Media. She taught writing courses at the University of South Carolina and Columbia College.

SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:Unsung: William Moultrie and the Battle of Sullivan’s Island\nPresented by Norm Rickeman\nOn June 28\, 1776\, six days before the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, the British Navy attacked a fort located on Sullivan’s Island\, in an attempt to seize Charles Town Harbor. A strategic position that controlled the commerce of most of the Colonial South\, Charles Town was thought to be the key to British dominance in the Carolinas. Commander of the 2nd Regiment\, Colonel William Moultrie ordered the fort’s reconstruction earlier in 1776\, instructing his men to build a large wall out of felled palmetto trees. Though advised to abandon the fort before the attack\, Moultrie and his men remained and the fort held during the battle\, leading to the creation of a new South Carolina flag\, featuring the palmetto tree. Join Norm Rickeman as he explores the details of the Battle of Sullivan’s Island and the life of Colonel William Moultrie\, an unsung hero of the American Revolution. \nNorm Rickeman is a volunteer historian with the National Park Service at Fort Moultrie in Sullivan’s Island\, SC. He has a special interest in the Battle of Sullivan’s Island and the contributions of the patriot commander\, William Moultrie\, believing both are underrepresented in the history of the American Revolutionary War. \n  \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:
