3 Welcome to the Conference
By Richard Harris, UHA President
For the Urban History Association’s thirtieth anniversary and our Ninth Biennial Conference, we have broken with tradition by holding our meeting in a smaller city. I wish I could take credit for this decision, because the coincidence is nice. It is my thirtieth year living and working in another city of modest size— Hamilton, Ontario—and I can testify that such places can be interesting, livable, and unjustly neglected. There is plenty to look forward to in Columbia.
There is, of course, the conference itself, which highlights the growing diversity of our field. Panelists include professors, students, publishers, museum directors, K-12 teachers, independent scholars, and documentary filmmakers. Their scholarship ranges widely in terms of time, place and methodology, with subjects extending from a growing emphasis on questions of policing and incarceration, to an examination of Native American landscapes in the colonial period, to masculinity and domesticity in 20th-century African cities. This may be the organization's most global conference so far. It will also offer a wide variety of opportunities to reflect on the discipline's past and to advance new agendas. There will be a discussion of the legacy of Arnold Hirsch's work, among nine roundtables on recent urban history scholarship. All of this has been curated and organized by LaDale Winling and Elaine Lewinnek, the program co-chairs, with the invaluable assistance of ten other program committee members, listed elsewhere.
And then there is the place. Much can be explored via field trips, details of which may be found elsewhere in this program. For those who prefer to make their own way, check out Historic Columbia’s sites: www.historiccolumbia.org. There is information about The Vista, the neighborhood where the conference is taking place, here: www.vistacolumbia.com. And our timing is good. It will be PRIDE weekend, with all activities walking distance from the conference: scpride.org. The South Carolina State Fair will be happening an easy Uber ride away: www.scstatefair.org. The downtown farmers/artists market will take place on Saturday, also an easy walk: www.experiencecolumbiasc.com/listing/soda-city-market/16841.
For all of these pleasures—for conferences, too, should be pleasurable—I am delighted to thank many local people and organizations. There are those who volunteered Columbia as the venue and themselves as local organizers: Jessica Elfenbein at the University of South Carolina and Robin Waites of Historic Columbia. They were ably helped by a local organizing committee, listed elsewhere. In turn, a number of people and agencies have provided assistance. In-kind support is provided by the Richland Library, the Department of History at USC, Historic Columbia, Experience Columbia, and President Harris (of USC) and Mrs. Patricia Moore Pastides. Financial assistance came from many departments and offices at USC: the Graduate School, the Vice-President Research, Jewish Studies, the Civil Rights Center, the College of Arts and Sciences, the Walker Institute, the History Center, the International House at Maxcy College, Southern Studies, and African American Studies. The Columbia Development Corporation and the Richland County Conservation Commission also made their support tangible.
Coordinating everything has been our new Executive Director, Peter Siskind, who quickly learned the ropes and now knows how to pull the strings from behind the scenes. Without Peter, Jessica, Robin, LaDale and Elaine none of this would have been possible.
Richard Harris is Professor of Geography at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario. His books include What’s in a Name? Talking about Urban Peripheries (edited, with Charlotte Vorms, 2017), Building a Market: The Rise of the Home Improvement Industry, 1914-1960 (2012), and Unplanned Suburbs. Toronto’s American Tragedy 1900 to 1950 (1996).

Harris Pastides President
October 18, 2018
Welcome!
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Urban History Association’s Ninth Biennial Conference on October 18-21, 2018. I speak on behalf of the University of South Carolina when I extend warm greetings to you and our expected 500 urban historians, writers, scholars and journalists.
As you attend the many panels and roundtables during this four-day event, I encourage you to think about the conference theme “Cities at the Crossroads.” This theme prompts consideration on the role of cities in the field of urban history and the challenges of contemporary urban issues. Our university is dedicated to fostering a strong relationship with the city of Columbia and its residents by working to expand a vibrant, diverse, economically and culturally-active climate.
Good luck in your presentations and discussions over the next few days. In your free time, I hope that you will take a moment to explore our beautiful, historic campus and our exciting city. I hope your time in Columbia facilitates productive conversations, new professional collaborations and solutions to issues we all face in urban areas.
I look forward to welcoming you in my home at the opening reception. See you soon!
Sincerely,
Harris Pastides

20 Saturday, October 20 Overview
7:30 AM-4:00 PM – REGISTRATION University of South Carolina Alumni Center: Lobby.
8:00 AM-3:45 PM – CONCURRENT SESSIONS
9:00 AM-4:00 PM – BOOK EXHIBIT University of South Carolina Alumni Center: Ballroom Prefunction.
9:45-11:15 AM – WALKING TOUR Departs from the stairs on the north side of the Statehouse (1100 Gervais Street). COLUMBIA AND THE PROBLEM OF CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS: A WALKING TOUR OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA STATEHOUSE GROUNDS. Columbia comes logically to its current position at the forefront of the national debate over Confederate memorials. The city has a good claim to be both the place of birth and the place of death for the Confederacy. The antebellum South Carolina College, now the University of South Carolina, was the academic hothouse of proslavery secessionist ideology. The political culture centered on the state capital provided the institutional framework through which the disunion campaign developed. The culminating secession convention met at First Baptist Church on December 17, 1860. The state house has been crucial to the relationship between Columbia and the Confederacy since the decision to build a new capitol amid the acceleration of the secession movement in the 1850s. Attendees will explore the site with Professor Thomas Brown, author of Civil War Canon: Sites of Confederate Memory in South Carolina.
12:30-2:00 PM – WALKING TOUR Departs from the stairs on the north side of the Statehouse (1100 Gervais Street). COLUMBIA 1963: CIVIL RIGHTS WALKING TOUR. Columbia’s Main Street was the stage for several defining moments during the Civil Rights Movement of 1963. A young domestic worker was ejected from a city bus for trying to exit off the front instead of the back at the corner of Main and Washington; sit-ins occurred regularly at lunch counters like Kress near the corner of Main and Hampton; and marches and protests filled the South Carolina State House grounds at the state’s seat of government, which anchors Main Street. This Columbia 1963 Main Street Walking Tour takes visitors on a journey through some of Columbia’s noteworthy and moving civil rights stories.
4:15-5:45 PM – PLENARY SESSION Richland Library (1431 Assembly Street). The Richland Library is a ½ mile, 10-15 minute walk. From the Alumni Center or Hilton, exit right (east) on Senate Street, take a left (north) on Park Street, and the library is four blocks ahead on your right, at the corner of Park and Hampton. In addition, a limited number of free buses will be available from outside the Hilton to take attendees to and from the Plenary Session. INEQUALITY AND INJUSTICE: BATTLES FOUGHT AND LESSONS LEARNED: Patricia A. Sullivan, June Manning Thomas, Heather Ann Thompson, and Henrie Monteith Treadwell reflect on the importance of history and on how we might use the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the 1968 Orangeburg Massacre to make 2018 more equal and more just. Moderated by Cleveland Sellers.

In 1968, Orangeburg, South Carolina was the site of one of this nation’s most traumatic law enforcement assaults on peaceful efforts to bring equality and equal justice under the law to South Carolina and the nation. Fifty years later we have experienced much backlash to the freedom fights of the 1968, including an historically unprecedented war on crime, a rolling back of school desegregation mandates, an increasing gap in income, and a rise of radicalized attacks on black and brown citizens alike. This roundtable of local and national experts on inequality and injustice will reflect on the importance of history and on how we might use the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the 1968 Orangeburg Massacre to make 2018 more equal and more just.

Sunday, October 21 Overview
8:30 AM-1:00 PM – BUS TOUR Departs from in front of the Hilton Columbia Center. SEATS OF POWER: LAND OWNERSHIP OUTSIDE THE CAPITAL CITY. Before the Civil War, enslaved workers farming the “Rich land” between the Congaree and Wateree rivers in lower Richland County propelled several white planter families to regional and national power. During Reconstruction, the South Carolina Land Commission (SCLC) subdivided some of these plantation lands into small parcels, selling them as working farms to landless African Americans who would come to enjoy a degree of economic freedom. Today, tangible links to this agricultural, economic and social journey remain in Kensington Plantation, the Harriet Barber House, and Wavering Place – historic sites that illustrate the diversified past experiences in the region and the diversity of contemporary owners and uses to which each site is placed. A roundtable discussion of the challenges and opportunities of interpreting spaces that represent the pinnacle of white, antebellum power will take place at Wavering, with box lunches provided.
