SUMMARY:The 2025 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with Born to Rebel\, Driven to Excel
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 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 became president of Morehouse College in 1940\, and his influence on civil rights and education for the next three decades reached 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 fulfilled. 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\, July 16th\, at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.\nThe Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2025.

SUMMARY:Joseph McGill\, Jr. to present The Slave Dwelling Project
DESCRIPTION:For the past 15 years\, Joe McGill has been sleeping in former slave dwellings throughout the United States. His adventures are now chronicled in the book Sleeping with the Ancestors: How I Followed the Footprints of Slavery. Join us at the Horry County Museum at 1 PM on Saturday\, July 19th as McGill discusses why this simple act is still being requested by historic sites of enslavement.\nJoseph McGill\, Jr.\, is the founder of the Slave Dwelling Project. By arranging for people to sleep in extant slave dwellings\, this project has brought much needed attention to these often-neglected structures that are vitally important to the American built environment. He has conducted over 250 overnights in approximately 150 different sites in 25 states and the District of Columbia. He has interacted with the descendants of both the enslaved communities and of the enslavers associated with antebellum historic sites. He speaks with school children and college students\, with historical societies\, community groups\, and members of the public.\nSince 2016\, McGill has expanded the Slave Dwelling Project to offer a program of living history called “Inalienable Rights: Living History Through the Eyes of the Enslaved.” The Project has conducted 7 conferences since 2013. Mr. McGill was a field officer for the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, working to revitalize the Sweet Auburn commercial district in Atlanta\, GA and to develop a management plan for the Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area.\nMr. McGill served as the Executive Director of the African American Museum located in Cedar Rapids\, Iowa. He is also the former Director of History and Culture at Penn Center\, St. Helena Island\, South Carolina. Penn School was the first school built during the Civil War for the education of recently freed slaves.\nMr. McGill appears in the book Confederates in the Attic by Tony Horwitz. He is also a member of the South Carolina Humanities Council Speakers Bureau.\nThis event will be held at the Horry County Museum located at 805 Main Street\, Conway\, S.C.
