SUMMARY:Pointes\, Pirouettes and Plies: Carolina Ballet Theatre Turns 50
DESCRIPTION:March 12 – July 17\, 2022\nCarolina Ballet Theatre – Raising the Barre in Greenville\nFor more than six centuries\, ballet has graced royal courts and stages across the globe\, and for 50 years\, Greenville’s own Carolina Ballet Theatre has been bringing this timeless performance art to the Upstate.\nFrom that first day in 1972 until now\, CBT has been guided by the prospect of what could be. Its evolutionary\, enlightened and engaging approach has ensured that this powerful performance art remains true to its origins while continuing to push the boundaries of this dynamic dance medium.\nAn artistic vision with hundreds of dancers\, hundreds of hours of training and practicing\, and countless performances have all culminated into a legacy of bringing world-class productions to the Greenville stage.\nThis exhibition celebrates an incredible 50-year journey that has encountered notable high points\, as well as unimaginable setbacks\, but still managing to raise the barre on entertainment excellence\, engaged outreach\, and unity through performance arts.\n  \n  \n

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 - The Lynching of Willie Earle
DESCRIPTION:  \nConfronting Racism: The Lynching of Willie Earle \nPresented by Dr. William H. Willimon\, Duke Divinity School \nThis year marked the 75th anniversary of the Greenville\, South Carolina lynching of Willie Earle. Based on circumstantial evidence\, Earle\, a 24-year-old Black man\, was charged in the robbery and murder of Greenville cab driver\, Thomas Watson Brown. Upon his arrest\, a mob of taxi drivers drove to the jail\, forcibly procured Earle’s release\, then beat\, stabbed\, and shot him to death. The trial\, which gained national media attention\, resulted in the acquittal of 31 white men who had been charged with Earle’s murder. The death of Willie Earle would become known as South Carolina’s last recorded lynching. \nDr. William Willimon was a 1968 Wofford graduate\, former dean of Duke Chapel\, current professor of Christian ministry at Duke University\, and author of\, “Who Lynched Willie Earle: Preaching to Confront Racism.” Join Dr. Willimon on Wednesday\, July 20\, as he discusses the lynching of Willie Earle\, the subsequent trial\, and the continuing challenge of preaching to confront racism. \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\n\n  \nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:
