Place Studies on Tourism and Identity in Modern South Carolina
ABSTRACT Title of Document: SOMBREROS AND MOTORCYCLES: PLACE STUDIES ON TOURISM AND IDENTITY IN MODERN SOUTH CAROLINA Paula Nicole King, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Directed By: Professor Mary Corbin Sies, Department of American Studies This dissertation examines the rise of tourism as an important social and economic force in the U.S. South through place studies of tourist sites in South Carolina. The roadside attraction South of the Border and the historically black town of Atlantic Beach are analyzed as touriscapes that provide historical narratives foregrounding the connections between place and southern identity in the modern era. Touriscapes are defined as places where perspectives overlap and identities intersect to produce spaces of serious cultural and historical significance as well as recreation and fun. Both of these touriscapes were enacted as tourism developed and Jim Crow segregation began to crumble, and they have survived into the twenty-first century. They are sites of commercial development, resistance, and political strife that should be studied, engaged, and preserved for future generations to better understand the complexity of southern history, culture, and identity.

Rich in African American History from the Upstate to the Lowcountry
RICH IN AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY FROM THE UPSTATE TO THE LOWCOUNTRY Dear Students, Educators, and Friends, The South Carolina Department of Education and our esteemed community partners proudly present to you the 2021 South Carolina African American History Calendar. This calendar pays homage to outstanding individuals who have made an extraordinary impact on our state and nation. Their achievements will be used by South Carolina educators to celebrate African American history in the classroom. The 2021 calendar features the Jenkins Institute. Formerly known as the “Jenkins Orphanage,” this establishment was founded in Charleston by the late Reverend Daniel Joseph Jenkins in December 1891. What started as a simple act of kindness from a husband and wife taking in four orphans eventually turned into a musical empire that today has inspired some of the most famous African American talents ever known. The 2021 calendar honorees’ commitment to improving the lives of others through their respective areas of expertise is admirable. With each page you turn, you will be reminded of the legacies they have left to inspire future generations. It is my hope that communities and students, the next generation of leaders, will be motivated by these individuals as we continue to work together to improve the quality of life for all South Carolinians. Most Sincerely, Molly M.
