SUMMARY:Vietnam: The Real War Photographs from the Associated Press
DESCRIPTION:May 28\, 2022 – August 20\, 2022\nThe Vietnam War (1954-1975) was a long\, costly and divisive conflict that pitted the communist government of North Vietnam against South Vietnam and its principal ally\, the United States.  The conflict was intensified by the ongoing Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.  More than 3 million people (including over 58\,000 Americans) were killed in the Vietnam War\, and more than half of the dead were Vietnamese civilians.\n\n\nU.S. Marines move through a landing zone\, December 1969. (AP Photo) \n\n  \nThe war left a deep and lasting impression in American life\, from its impact on the men and women who fought in it\, to the journalists and photographers who covered it\, to the millions of Americans who protested against it or supported it. Due to an uncensored press\, the world knew and saw more of this war than any in history before or since.\n  \nTo cover the War\, The Associated Press (AP) gathered an extraordinary group of superb photojournalists in its Saigon bureau\, creating one of the greatest photographic legacies of the 20th century.  The AP won six Pulitzer Prizes for its coverage\, four of them for photography.\n  \nNow\, drawn from AP’s photo history of the conflict\, Vietnam: The Real War\, featuring a selection of 50 large-format images curated by the Associated Press\, will be presented at the Upcountry History Museum.  The exhibition tells the human story of the War\, from the American presence starting as a trickle of military advisers in the late 1950s\, through dramatic operations involving thousands of soldiers in the 1960s\, to the fall of Saigon in 1975. These are pictures that both recorded and made history\, taken by courageous photojournalists.\n  \nAs we begin to look back from the vantage point of half a century\, Vietnam: The Real War serves as a photographic record of the drama and tragedy of the Vietnam War.\n  \nThe Upcountry History Museum will include objects\, archival materials and oral histories from its permanent collection to support and further illustrate the impact of the Vietnam War.  The Museum will partner with Upstate veterans and military organizations to insure the preservation and presentation of our community’s history and stories.\n  \nThe Associated Press (AP) is a not-for-profit global news agency headquartered in New York.  Founded in 1846\, the AP today is the essential global news network\, delivering fast\, unbiased news and information from every corner of the world to media platforms and formats.\nSponsored by:\n                      \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice
DESCRIPTION:June 11\, 2022 – January 22\, 2023\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDinosaurs will roar into the Upstate South Carolina\, when the Upcountry History Museum presents Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice. Crossing the threshold of this interactive exhibition means traveling back in time to explore the Age of the Dinosaurs.\n  \n\nDinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice is the first child-centered exhibit in the country dedicated to expanding the understanding of dinosaurs and their habitats. Designed for young explorers\, ages 3-10\, the bilingual (Spanish and English) exhibit features three distinct sections that build on a child’s innate curiosity about dinosaurs: Land of Fire (a warm dinosaur habitat)\, Land of Ice (a cold dinosaur habitat)\, and a Field Research Station (complete with a Big Dig experience).\n  \nThe steamy Land of Fire\, present day Montana\, introduces visitors to the Triceratops\, T-Rex and the dinosaurs who called this environment home. Children can circle the land in insect costumes\, buzz through a volcano with oozing lava\, work through a swampy bog and identify an ecosystem of animals and plants.\n  \nNo coats are needed for a trip across the Land of Ice where visitors meet the dinosaurs who made their homes in the cold climate of Alaska. Activities include: climbing rocky steps\, breezing down an icy slide\, and hopping across stepping stones in an icy river.\n  \nIn the hands-on Field Research Station children and their caregivers don goggles and research vests\, as they uncover dinosaur bones in a dig station and examine fossils to identify dinosaurs.\n  \nThe exhibit builds on the popular fascination with dinosaurs and includes science\, history\, and literacy based activities to challenge all ages. Sculpted\, touchable dinosaurs\, featuring the most recent scientific findings about dinosaur colors\, textures and structural form create opportunities for young\nexplorers to investigate clues that the dinosaurs left behind.\n  \n\n\nBook a Field Trip!\n\n  \nSponsored By: \n \n                               \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning - Viet Nam: Music that Defined an Era
DESCRIPTION:  \nViet Nam: Music That Defined An Era\nPresented by Dr. Erin McCoy\, USC Beaufort \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Erin McCoy\, USC Beaufort\, explores the impact of the American music scene during the tumultuous years of the Viet Nam War. From the anti-war sentiments of the early classic rock groups like The Animals to the folk music of Bob Dylan\, music served as a forum to express the national discontent with American involvement in Viet Nam. However\, not all music shared this anti-war sentiment. The music of Merle Haggard and other country artists was often considered pro-war. \nDr. McCoy’s program will give an overview of different genres of music from the Viet Nam war era. Top 40 hits will be interspersed with deep cuts from the Viet Nam War era\, and the presentation will further include global\, cultural\, social\, and historical contexts for the songs presented. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThis month’s program is sponsored by South Carolina Humanities\, a not-for-profit organization; inspiring\, engaging and enriching South Carolinians with programs on literature\, history\, culture and heritage. \n  \n\n  \nLunchbox Learning is free for UHM Members and included with general admission for all other guests. \n  \n\n \n\n  \n\n\n\n  \nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:

SUMMARY:Fast Lane: The NASCAR Photography of Darryl Moran
DESCRIPTION:September 3 – November 5\, 2022\nSpeed\, action\, danger\, corporate logos\, pop icons – these are the defining elements of Darryl Moran’s stock car racing photographs. The first official photographer hired by NASCAR Moran was responsible for capturing all aspects of the races from 1993 to 1997.\n\nDarryl Moran’s images depict the frantic pace of race day as well as the camaraderie of the drivers\, intimate moments with fans and family members\, and the support and spirit of the pit crew. During his tenure\, the self-taught artist captured such legendary drivers as Dale Earnhardt\, Rusty Wallace\, Jeff Gordon\, Mark Martin\, Terry Labonte\, Tammy Jo Kirk\, and Harry Gant. \nMoran’s pictures were some of the first to capture the emotion of the races and the compassion of the drivers and fans. His images\, taken initially for his own interests\, caught the eye of NASCAR executives\, who felt that they signaled a new direction for the sport’s image\, one that focused on a broader scope of experiences and not just the technicality of the race and its winners. Through photographs\, memorabilia\, and objects\, the exhibition explores Moran’s development of this new vision of NASCAR\, one that continues to shape the images of the sport today. \nThe exhibition also examines Moran’s role as a NASCAR photographer\, including taking all the gear needed for the day – cameras\, multiple lenses\, water bottles\, batteries\, media cards\, and more. NASCAR photographers move rapidly from the media center to the garage\, to the track\, and to the winner’s circle. After the first practice ends its back to the media center to process images\, transmit them\, and rest for a few minutes before heading to the garage or track to start all over. When there is a full-race the cycle repeats itself – when the race ends it’s a rush to the winner’s circle to get the best spot for a photo of the winner. And finally\, it is back to the media center to transmit images to the various media outlets. \nIn its commitment to connecting Upstate local history with national and global history\, the Upcountry History Museum will share the story of Greenville Pickens Speedway which started as a dirt track in 1940. After thirty years on dirt\, the Speedway was paved in 1970. On April 10\, 1971\, Greenville Pickens Speedway hosted the first-ever\, start to finish\, live televised NASCAR Race. Since then\, hundreds of sanctioned NASCAR races have taken place at the Speedway. Though the cars and drivers have changed\, the legacy and thrill of racing continues. \n

SUMMARY:"Meltdown in Dixie" - Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Meltdown in Dixie \n Film Screening & Panel Discussion\n  \nIn the wake of the 2015 Charleston Massacre\, a battle erupts in Orangeburg\, South Carolina\, between the Sons of Confederate Veterans and an ice cream shop owner forced to fly the Confederate flag in his parking lot. The film explores the broader role of Confederate symbolism in the 21st century and the lingering racial oppression which symbols such as this help maintain.\n  \nDirected by Orangeburg\, S.C. native Emily Harrold\, Meltdown in Dixie explores the broader role of Confederate symbolism in the 21st century through a local look at a battle over a flag flying outside the Edisto River Creamery. The film follows the owner of the Creamery as he tries to bring the flag down. Countering this\, the film also profiles the local chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans\, who want to keep the flag flying. \n  \n\n  \nAfter the 40-minute film screening\, the Upcountry History Museum will host a panel discussion. All attendees are welcomed and encouraged to participate in the discussion. \n  \nThe discussion will be moderated by SC Humanities Scholar\, Efia Nwangaza. Ms. Nwangaza\, civil/human rights attorney\, is the Executive Director of the Malcolm X Center for Self Determination and the founder and director of the Afrikan-American Institute for Policy Studies and Planning in Greenville\, SC. Joining the panel discussion will be Dr. Sherry Kostman\, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in South Carolina. Dr. Kostman is currently Behavioral Health Director for New Horizon Family Health Services\, a federally qualified health center in Greenville\, SC. Also joining the panel discussion will be the film director and Orangeburg\, SC native\, Emily Harrold. \n  \nWatch “Meltdown in Dixie” Trailer \n  \nAdmission for the film screening and panel discussion is free for all guests\, however reservations are encouraged. \n\n  \n\nThis event is apart of a series of public screenings of “Meltdown in Dixie” organized by the Center for Creative Partnerships at the SC Humanities. The mission of SC Humanities is to enrich the cultural and intellectual lives of all South Carolinians. Established in 1973\, this 501(c) 3 organization is governed by a volunteer 20-member Board of Directors comprised of community leaders from throughout the state.

SUMMARY:Doing the Most Good: The Salvation Army in Greenville
DESCRIPTION:Doing The Most Good: The Salvation Army in Greenville\nOctober 1\, 2022 – February 5\, 2023 \nWhat started as a mission effort in 1904 under a tent at the corner of Brown and Washington Streets when The Salvation Army of Greenville began offering a religious message and good music to anyone willing to listen has evolved into 118 years of service to the community. \nSince its humble beginnings\, the organization continued to expand with a variety of services being offered\, many of which have adapted through the years and are still meeting needs today. This exhibition offers a look at the non-profit’s storied timeline through artifacts\, photos\, and materials from the local archives\, as well as The Salvation Army’s national archives. \nIn his book\, Way Down Beside the Reedy River – A Centennial History\, lifelong Salvation Army member Major Raymond W. Kitchen noted\, “Each succeeding year and change of command brought other and more varied programs to the Citadel on Broad Street and later\, to the other locations as the Army marched through time and the neighborhood. The Salvation Army is still at work today using modern methods and more sophisticated avenues of service to perform the same acts of loving service to humanity.” \nIndeed\, since marching into Greenville more than a century ago\, The Salvation Army in Greenville has remained true to doing the most good. \n  \n  \nPhotos courtesy of The Salvation Army Southern Historical Center\, Evangeline Booth College\, Atlanta Georgia

SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:October 19\, 2022\n“FAST LANE: NASCAR Engineering”\nDr. Robert Prucka\, Clemson University\nMotorsports have traditionally been a source of new technologies that benefit passenger car safety\, performance\, and design. As a continuous source of innovation\, motorsports have been heavily supported by automotive manufacturers for over a century. As the automotive industry invests billions of dollars to produce both electrified and autonomous vehicles it is important for the survival of motorsports that they remain at the forefront of these technologies. This talk will provide a look into recent projects at the Clemson University – International Center for Automotive Research and around the world that are helping to shape the future of motorsports. Examples from Clemson University’s Deep Orange educational program will be used to highlight motorsports innovations that are happening right here in Greenville\, South Carolina. \n  \nRobert Prucka is the Alan Kulwicki Professor of Motorsports Engineering within the Department of Automotive Engineering and the Deputy Director of the Virtual Prototyping of Autonomy-Enabled Ground Systems Center (VIPR-GS) at the Clemson University\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:
