SUMMARY:Born to Rebel\, Driven to Excel
DESCRIPTION:The 2020 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\, February 19th\, at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street in Conway. \nThe Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2020. For a full 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.

SUMMARY:Matt McDonough: The Golden Age of Piracy
DESCRIPTION:The Horry County Museum and the AVX Foundation present a lecture by Matt McDonough on Saturday\, February 22nd\, on the Golden Age of Piracy. \nNothing quite captures the American imagination like the Golden Age of Piracy. Seafaring rogues who swashed their buckles\, accumulated and squandered a fortune amidst the beautiful turquoise blue waters of the Caribbean. But how much of this depiction is true to history? Were they truly the romantic anti-heroes of yore? Vicious criminal sociopaths? Or something in between? Join Dr. Matthew McDonough as we separate fact from fiction regarding these tyrants of the seas. \nDr. Matthew McDonough earned his PhD in American history from Kansas State University in 2011 and has won several teaching awards over the last decade. His teaching and research specializations include military history\, the American frontier and the Golden Age of Piracy. At present he is a Senior Lecturer of history at Coastal Carolina University and had previously served as an adjunct for Kansas State University and as a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at the United States Military Academy at West Point. When not teaching or lecturing\, Dr. McDonough can most often be found enjoying spicy food\, playing board games with his wife or visiting Amusement parks. \nThe program will begin at 1 pm in the McCown Auditorium 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.

SUMMARY:Eric Emerson: A History of the State Flag
DESCRIPTION:The Horry County Museum and the AVX Foundation present a lecture by Eric Emerson on Saturday\, February 29th\, on the history of the South Carolina state flag. \nSouth Carolina has had a number of flags over the course of its history\, and two have been approved by the General Assembly. The second of these was created by A.S. Salley\, the first Secretary of the South Carolina History Commission (now known as the South Carolina Department of Archives & History)\, with help from Clemson College and a little-known friend in Charleston. In this lecture\, Dr. Emerson will recount the tale of a man whose claims to be the authority on South Carolina history led the General Assembly to task him with re-creating the state flag. His design would be the forerunner of today’s banner\, the nation’s second most popular state flag. \nDr. Emerson is the director of the South Carolina Department of Archives & History (SCDAH). He received his Bachelors of Arts in History from the University of North Carolina – Charlotte and his masters and doctorate in History from the University of Alabama. Prior to coming to SCDAH in 2009\, he served as the executive director of the Charleston Library Society and the South Carolina Historical Society. \nThe program will begin at 1 pm in the McCown Auditorium 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.

SUMMARY:Joanne Shropshire-Second Helping Quilts
DESCRIPTION:The Horry County Museum will host a free program by local quilter Joanne Shropshire on Tuesday\, March 3rd at 1 pm. Join us to learn how to create ‘second helping quilts’.

After a few years\, she started her own business doing custom clothing and alterations. \nJoanne is an active member of the Coastal Carolina Quilters\, the Cobblestone Quilt Guild and AQS. She teachers quilting at a number of places\, some in shops and others at large retreats. \nThe program will begin at 1:00 pm in the Museum Classroom\, 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.

SUMMARY:Jerre Reese: Mini Trunk Show
DESCRIPTION:The Horry County Museum and the L.W. Paul Living History Farm will host two ‘Mini Trunk Shows’ by local quilter Jerre Reese. Join us to view just a few of her miniature quilts and learn how she makes them. Jerre’s talk will be held at the Horry County Museum (805 Main Street\, Conway\, SC) on Thursday\, March 5th at 1 pm and at the L.W. Paul Living History Farm\, (2279 Harris Short Cut Road\, Conway\, SC) Thursday\, March 19th at 1 pm. \nFor those with questions about an antique quilt in their personal collection\, Jerre will be available after each program\, starting at 2:30 pm\, to give an approximate date and pattern name of the quilt\, and offer tips on caring for and storing\, or displaying\, it. \nJerre Reese grew up in Detroit\, MI and began sewing at around ten years old. She began quilting about 42 years ago and has been doing it ever since. At first she did everything by hand but\, as machine work became more acceptable\, she switched to machine work.  Also\, because she wanted to finish more than two quilts per year! \nShe has taken classes with many big-name quilt teachers over the years and has tried just about every quilting technique there is. Her quilts have won ribbons in numerous shows and three have been published in various publications. She also had five quilts juried into the prestigious American Quilter’s Society shows. She loves quilting and enjoys sharing the knowledge she’s picked up along the way with others. \nBoth programs are free to the public.

SUMMARY:Sharon Cooper-Murray: Gullah Rag Quilting
DESCRIPTION:The Horry County Museum and South Carolina Humanities present a program by “The Gullah Lady”\, Sharon Cooper-Murray\, on Friday\, March 6th\, on the history of rag quilting in the Gullah community. \nThis entertaining and educational program explores the history of rag quilting\, a tradition dating to the antebellum period\, when feed and grain sacks were combined with rag strips to make unique quilts. Traditionally passed from generation to generation\, Cooper-Murray was taught the process by Gullah women from Wadmalaw and Johns Island. She has since set out on a mission to preserve this disappearing art form. \nSharon Cooper-Murray is a native of South Carolina raised in Florence County. After attending college in Tennessee\, she returned to South Carolina and has resided Charleston County\, South Carolina. When she arrived on Wadmalaw Island\, SC\, it was the first time she heard the Gullah language\, and she was fascinated by the tone and rhythm of this Creole language. That was the beginning of what has become her life-long passion: the Gullah culture\, their stories\, folk music\, crafts\, food ways\, religious folkways … their way of life. She has traveled throughout the east coast of the United States as an advocate of the preservation\, conservation and development of the culture through workshops\, lectures\, storytelling\, special events and artist in residency programs. \nThe program\, sponsored by South Carolina Humanities\, will begin at 1:00 pm in the McCown Auditorium 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. To view a full list of programs\, visit our website at www.horrycountymuseum.org. \nThe mission of South Carolina Humanities is to enrich the cultural and intellectual lives of all South Carolinians. This not-for-profit organization presents and/or supports literary initiatives\, lectures\, exhibits\, festivals\, publications\, oral history projects\, videos and other humanities-based experiences that reach more than 250\,000 citizens annually. South Carolina Humanities receives funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities as well as corporate\, foundation and individual donors. It is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of community leaders throughout the state.

SUMMARY:The Baruchs of Hobcaw
DESCRIPTION:The 2020 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with The Baruchs of Hobcaw\, part of the Carolina Stories Series by SCETV. In 1718\, 17\,500 acres of pristine land in Georgetown County became a colonial land grant\, or barony\, from the King of England to one of the Lords Proprietors. The Native Americans called it “hobcaw\,” meaning between the waters. Purchased by Bernard Baruch in 1905\, Hobcaw Barony eventually passed into the hands of Baruch’s daughter\, Belle\, who created a foundation to protect it from development. This film tells the story of the Baruchs and Hobcaw Barony\, which is today home to USC’s Baruch Marine Field Laboratory and Clemson’s Belle W. Baruch Institute of Coastal Ecology and Forest Science. \nThe film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM\, Wednesday\, March 11th\, at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street in Conway. \nThe Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2020.

SUMMARY:Sandy Jacobs: Redwork Revisited
DESCRIPTION:The Horry County Museum will host a free program by local quilter Sandy Jacobs on Wednesday\, March 11th on redwork in quilting. Redwork is a form of American embroidery\, also called art needlework that developed in the 19th century and was particularly popular between 1855 and 1925.

She made a few more on her own before she decided to begin taking classes. Jacobs began with traditional piecing and enjoys the challenge of making everything fit properly. She has been teaching beginning quilting and other classes for the last few years at local quilt shops and also for guilds. \nThe program will begin at 1:00 pm at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street\, Conway SC.

SUMMARY:Quilts of Valor Presentation
DESCRIPTION:The public is invited to view a special Quilts of Valor presentation at the Horry County Museum. Quilts made especially for thirty local veterans will be presented on Saturday\, March 14th in the Museum’s auditorium at 1:00 pm at 805 Main Street\, Conway\, SC 29526. \nThe mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation (QOVF) is to cover all service members and veterans\, touched by war\, with a comforting and healing quilt. 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. One night\, she had a dream where she saw a man sitting on the side of a bed\, shaking. In her dream\, a quilt was placed around his shoulders and he seemed to be comforted. As a nurse and quilter\, Roberts then 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 216\,000 quilts. \nThe local QOVF\, Myrtle Beach Shore Birds began in 2010 and covers Horry\, Georgetown and Florence Counties. So far\, they have awarded 2\,855 quilts. Each quilt takes around 100 hours to make and costs around $250.00. Requests for quilts come from veterans throughout their area\, many living in and around Conway\, SC. Myrtle Beach Shore Birds awarded 636 quilts in 2017 and 766 in 2018. The group is a 501c3 nonprofit and is dependent on donations to allow them to make and award the quilts. Those interested in helping Myrtle Beach Shorebirds make quilts can contact the Horry County Museum at 843-915-5320 or email hcgmuseum@horrycounty.org.
