SUMMARY:Gullah Geechee Community Day
DESCRIPTION:Gullah Geechee Community Day highlights the significance of Gullah Geechee cultures and the wider African diaspora to both Horry and Georgetown counties. “Gullah Geechee” refers to the descendants of enslaved individuals\, predominantly from West Africa\, who retained many of their African traditions and cultures because of the relative isolation of their plantations from the rest of the world. Gullah Geechee traditions have informed most of what we know today as Lowcountry culture and cuisine from Hoppin’ John to Calabash Seafood. \nThis festival is the last day of an international conference that concentrates on Gullah Geechee and African Diaspora (IGGAD)\, hosted by the Joyner Institute Gullah Institute at Coastal Carolina University\, filled with presentations\, readings\, and performances. This year’s theme is Who Owns This? Communities\, Preservation\, and Heritage. This year\, to be as accessible as possible\, events will be livestreamed. Select events will be live-streamed to our social media\, but for an all-access pass\, please purchase a virtual registration. To learn more\, register\, or buy tickets to exclusive events\, visit http://gullahgeecheeday.com/

SUMMARY:When Rice Was King.
DESCRIPTION:The 2022 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with When Rice Was King. Part of the Carolina Stories Series by SCETV\, this film tells the story of how rice became a major cash crop in South Carolina. The cultivation of rice in South Carolina began in the late 1600s. By the time of the American Revolution\, it had created the largest concentration of wealth in the American colonies. The knowledge and labor of slaves from Africa’s Windward Coast were major factors in the making of this wealth. However\, South Carolina’s rice culture experienced heavy tolls due to the Civil War\, emancipation and hurricanes. Its passing\, along with that of the grand cotton plantations\, ended a way of life. The economic and social impact of the state’s rice culture created a legacy that remains today. \nThe film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM\, Wednesday\, March 2nd\, at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street in Conway. \nThe Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2022. For a list of films\, visit our website at www.horrycountymuseum.org. For more information\, call the Horry County Museum at 843-915-5320 or e-mail hcgmuseum@horrycounty.org.

In 2003\, Catherine Roberts\, the founder of the QOVF\, had a son deployed to Iraq. She struggled with how to stay busy and keep her mind busy while he was in harm’s way. As a nurse and quilter\, Roberts decided she would make and send quilts to Kandahar. Each stretcher that had a wounded veteran got a red\, white and blue quilt placed on their stretcher. After six years\, the foundation decided to award a quilt to any veteran who served during wartime era\, from WWII to present. Since 2003\, the foundation\, now a national organization\, has awarded over 267\,000 quilts. \nTo view a full list of programs at the Museum\, visit our website at www.horrycountymuseum.org.

SUMMARY:Museum Matinee: Born to Rebel\, Driven to Excel
DESCRIPTION:The 2022 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with Born to Rebel\, Driven to Excel. Part of the Carolina Stories Series by SCETV\, this 30 minute film biography tells the story of South Carolinian\, Dr. Benjamin Mays.\nBenjamin Mays\, from Epworth\, South Carolina\, saw the racism and forced segregation of life around him and decided to challenge it with education and religion. Against the advice of his father\, Mays pursued a formal education and rose to the top of his class\, becoming Dean of Religion at Howard University\, and later earned a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Chicago. He would become president of Morehouse College in 1940\, and his influence on civil rights and education for the next three decades would reach far and wide. He met with Mahatma Gandhi\, led Atlanta’s desegregation effort\, and convinced Gone with the Wind author Margaret Mitchell to (secretly) sponsor students. He was mentor and spiritual father to Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, who credited him as his inspiration for entering the ministry. King selected Mays to give his eulogy in the event of his death\, a task Mays would fulfill. Interviewees include Andrew Young\, Hank Aaron\, Mays’ great niece Dr. Marshalyn Yeargin-Allsopp\, and Dr. Robert Franklin.\nThe film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM\, Wednesday\, March 16th\, at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.\nThe Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2022.

In 2015\, Lyons and her husband retired to South Carolina and she finally had time to put into her dyeing again. Dyeing for Happy Hour was created and she started with hand dyed clothing. Then\, she started fabric dyeing again and has sold her hand dyed fabrics at quilt shows in the area. Lyons has also hosted weekend Dye Camps that teach many facets of dyeing.

SUMMARY:Featured Quilter: Kay Rutherford
DESCRIPTION:We’re celebrating textiles throughout March at the Horry County Museum! Join us Wednesday\, March 23rd at 10 AM as local quilter Kay Rutherford shares a variety of rag quilts\, long arm\, and hand and machine embroidered quilts from her personal collection. She will also feature several quilts hand quilted by her mother. \nKay Rutherford’s quilting history began twenty years ago when the women at the hospital she had retired from were making totes and pillows for cancer patients. Kay decided to join the group. Her first quilt didn’t quite turn out as expected when the person who quilted it used large roses in his quilting. Rutherford was so upset with the quilt that she donated it to Goodwill. Kay then started taking classes at a quilting shop in Chillicothe\, Ohio. This led her to joining a quilt group at home in West Virginia. Kay joined the Conway Quilters whenever she and her husband moved to South Carolina permanently three years ago. \nThe program will be held at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street\, Conway SC. This event is free and open to the public. For more information\, call 843-915-5320 or email hcgmuseum@horrycounty.org.
