SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:Where Have All the Children Gone?\nThe Catawba Nation and the Carlisle Indian School \n  \nPresented by Alan Dabney\nU.S. Veteran and Advisor of the Catawba Indian Nation \n  \nIn the 1870s\, the United States government attempted to educate and assimilate Native Americans into “civilized” society by placing children from diverse tribes into distant\, residential boarding schools. Forced into a world that deprived them of their language\, contact with their families\, and their ethnic identity\, many struggled\, suffered physical abuse\, found ways to escape\, or developed faith in self and heritage. \nOne such school was the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania. It served as a model for the other off-reservation schools built across the country. “Where Have All the Children Gone? – The Catawba and the Carlisle Indian School” is the story of one child’s journey as a student of the Carlisle School as told by his great-grandson\, Alan Dabney. Through first-hand accounts and letters\, Alan will present his great-grandfather’s experiences of daily life at Carlisle\, the escape attempts\, and finally being able to leave when he turned 18. \nAlan is the Director of Greenville County Veterans Affairs and a member of the Catawba Indian Nation where he also serves as Veteran Advisor of the Catawba Indian Nation in Rock Hill. A seventh-generation soldier with ancestors serving in every major military conflict dating to the American Revolution\, Alan retired as a Master Sergeant from the Army after 21 years. \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:

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:

SUMMARY:Black Pioneers: Legacy In The American West
DESCRIPTION:Black Pioneers: Legacy In The American West\nOctober 26\, 2024 – March 2\, 2025 \n“When thinking about the American Wild West\, many imagine characters from a classic western movie. But the reality is\, the West is – and was – a melting pot. This ground-breaking exhibit fills in the mostly missing historical record of Black people in 19th-century America.” \n                                                                                                                             – Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi \nThe Upcountry History Museum will invite visitors to experience a first-of-its kind exhibit when it hosts Black Pioneers: Legacy in the American West. The national touring exhibit\, organized by The James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art\, St. Petersburg\, FL and Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi\, artist\, renowned historian and one of the foremost experts on African American quilting history and traditions\, explores Black history in the American West. \nThe exhibit follows the path of Black history in the West through a timeline of original pictorial quilts. These colorful\, richly detailed works of art chronicle the arrival of Africans in the American West in 1528\, all the way through the Civil Rights Movement\, bringing to life forgotten stories and lesser-known chapters in history. Dispelling the myth that Black people in the old West were mostly cowboys\, Black Pioneers reveals the breadth of their occupations and achievements in society\, religion\, education\, and the arts. \nQuilts were chosen as the visual medium for the exhibit to highlight the intersections of African Americans in the Western Frontier while informing visitors about the art form and its important role in African American history. For African American women\, quilts have always been at the core of artistic expression\, taking form in the social\, economic\, and spiritual lives of the women who make them. \nThe 50 quilts\, designed for the exhibit\, were created by the Women of Color Quilters Network (WCQN) especially for the exhibition. Each quilt features a different Black pioneer\, their life story researched and depicted in fabric by the quilt’s creator. \nFounded by Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi in 1985\, WCQN is a non-profit national organization whose mission is to educate\, preserve\, exhibit\, promote and document quilts made by African Americans. \n  \nSupport provided by \n                         \n

SUMMARY:Revolution in the Carolinas
DESCRIPTION:Crescent Moon Over Carolina: William Moultrie and American Liberty \nPresented by C.L. Bragg\nMajor General William Moultrie is best remembered for commanding the valiant defense of an unfinished palmetto log fort on Sullivan’s Island at the entrance to Charleston harbor against a determined British naval attack on June 28\, 1776. While the Continental Congress in Philadelphia considered a draft of the Declaration of Independence\, Moultrie and his garrison of South Carolinians proved that untested\, but courageous\, American soldiers could stand firm and prevail against British might. \nDr. C.L. Bragg is a practicing anesthesiologist in Thomasville\, Georgia. His love for American history was sparked while researching his family’s history in South Carolina. He has published multiple books including Distinction in Every Service: Brigadier General Marcellus A. Stovall\, C.S.A.\, the critically acclaimed Never for Want of Powder: The Confederate Powder Works in Augusta\, Georgia\, of which he is coauthor\, and Crescent Moon over Carolina: William Moultrie and American Liberty. \n \n  \n  \n\nRevolution in the Carolinas is generously sponsored by:\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:White Christmas: The Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:White Christmas: The Exhibition\nNovember 16\, 2024 – February 2\, 2025  \nIn December of 1941\, seventeen days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor\, Bing Crosby made the first live radio performance of a new song called “White Christmas.” Crosby’s unforgettable voice\, singing what would become one of the most iconic Christmas songs ever written\, went almost unnoticed in the flurry of activity around the United States entry into World War II. \nThe song had been created by songwriter Irving Berlin\, a Jewish Russian immigrant. Its nostalgic view of an ideal snowy northeastern Christmas had to wait until the August 1942 release of the movie Holiday Inn before its popularity would take off. Within a month of the film’s premiere\, sheet music and record sales propelled “White Christmas” to the top of the Hit Parade music chart for 10 weeks beginning in November 1942. From that point on\, “White Christmas” became an instant classic and one of the most patriotic songs of World War II. \nThe song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1942 and was such a hit\, that Berlin decided to write an entire movie around it. \nPrior to the film’s release in the fall of 1954\, Variety wrote that “White Christmas should be a natural at the box office…with a hot ensemble including Bing Crosby\, Danny Kaye\, Rosemary Clooney\, Vera-Ellen\, and an Irving Berlin score.” Variety was right; White Christmas became the highest grossing film of 1954 and the highest grossing musical film of all-time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Upcountry History Museum in partnership with the Rosemary Clooney House\, Augusta\, Kentucky and a private collector\, will host White Christmas – The Exhibition in the Winter of 2024. Greenville\, South Carolina became the second U.S. city to host the 2000 square foot exhibit in 2020. \nOriginal White Christmas film costumes created by legendary designer Edith Head\, props\, sheet music\, cast member’s personal memorabilia\, archival materials\, replica backdrops and more will invite visitors to experience first-hand the musical genius of Irving Berlin and the making of this beloved holiday film about two WWII veterans who team up with a singing sister duo to save a faltering Vermont lodge owned by the veteran’s former commanding officer. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nSupport provided by \n     \n
