  • Janice C. Schach, FASLA, Past President of ASLA
    NOMINATION OF C. THOMAS WYCHE FOR THE 2004 ASLA OLMSTED MEDAL I am pleased to nominate my colleague and friend C. Thomas Wyche for the 2004 ASLA Olmsted Medal -- I can think of no one more qualified than Tommy Wyche to meet the criteria of this award. Tommy’s life work has been devoted to leadership, vision and stewardship. For the past 35 years, he has devoted a significant portion of his personal and professional time to the conservation of approximately 100,000 acres of magnificent wilderness forests in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North and South Carolina. Without the leadership of his conservation efforts, much of this land would today doubtless be gated communities, golf courses and shopping centers. Instead, these lands are home to pristine rivers, lakes and waterfalls, undisturbed hiking trails, and campsites in a lush environment that supports an ecosystem of great richness and diversity. Tommy Wyche is a 78 year old attorney who lives in Greenville, South Carolina. He graduated from Yale University in 1946 with a degree in electrical engineering and earned his law degree from the University of Virginia in 1949. Since that time, he has been in the private practice of law with Wyche, Burgess, Freeman, & Parham in Greenville. His scholastic honors include honorary doctorate degrees from Clemson University, Furman University, and Wofford College; Omicron Delta Kappa; Raven Society; and Member Virginia Law Review. In the early 1970s, Tommy conceived the idea of permanently preserving a large wilderness area spanning the Blue Ridge Mountains of northern Greenville County, South Carolina along its border with North Carolina.

  • South Carolina African American History Calendar
    2018 South Carolina African American History Calendar Presented by South Carolina Department of Education RICH IN African American History FROM THE UPSTATE TO THE LOWCOUNTRY Dear Students, Educators, and Friends, The greatest lessons are often learned from listening and observing those people closest to us. Sermons from a life well lived give us inspiration, encouragement, pride, and hope. The South Carolina African American History Calendar honors our neighbors and friends who have lived their lives well. Their achievements have impacted the quality of life for all of us in extraordinary ways – through business, education, medicine, and public service. It is my hope that their courage and determination will inspire you as students and citizens of South Carolina to strive to make a positive difference in our state and nation. While the South Carolina Department of Education has been a partner in the production of the calendar for many years, we are honored to be the presenting sponsor of the 2018 calendar. All community partners have been invaluable to the calendar’s success and we appreciate their continued support and commitment in this 29th edition. Each month you will meet an honoree who has lived a life to the fullest. I hope that you will be inspired to do the same. Molly M.

  • PRIDE OR PREJUDICE? Racial Prejudice, Southern Heritage, and White Support for the Confederate Battle Flag
    STATE OF THE ART PRIDE OR PREJUDICE? Racial Prejudice, Southern Heritage, and White Support for the Confederate Battle Flag Logan Strother Harry S Truman School of Public Affairs, University of Missouri and Department of Political Science, Maxwell School, Syracuse University Spencer Piston Department of Political Science, Boston University Thomas Ogorzalek Department of Political Science, Northwestern University Abstract Debates about the meaning of Southern symbols such as the Confederate battle emblem are sweeping the nation. These debates typically revolve around the question of whether such symbols represent “heritage or hatred:” racially innocuous Southern pride or White prejudice against Blacks. In order to assess these competing claims, we first examine the historical reintroduction of the Confederate flag in the Deep South in the 1950s and 1960s; next, we analyze three survey datasets, including one nationally representative dataset and two probability samples of White Georgians and White South Carolinians, in order to build and assess a stronger theoretical account of the racial motivations underlying such symbols than currently exists. While our findings yield strong support for the hypothesis that prejudice against Blacks bolsters White support for Southern symbols, support for the Southern heritage hypothesis is decidedly mixed. Despite widespread denials that Southern symbols reflect racism, racial prejudice is strongly associated with support for such symbols. Keywords: Confederate Flag, Race, Prejudice, Heritage, South INTRODUCTION The mass killing of nine Black churchgoers by a White gunman in Charleston on June 17, 2015 rekindled a nation-wide debate over the Confederate battle emblem. The tragedy was immediately followed by calls to remove the Confederate flag from the South Carolina capitol grounds, echoed by Governor Nikki Haley, who had originally opposed removal of the flag.
