SUMMARY:Lander History Professor William Ramsey to Give Community Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The 2024-25 Community Lecture Series\, hosted by Lander University and the Arts Center of Greenwood\, kicks off Tuesday\, September 3\, with a lecture from Dr. William Ramsey\, professor of history at Lander. Titled\, “Fighting Infamy: A Marine Fighter Pilot’s Epic Stand at the Battle of Wake Island\,” Ramsey’s lecture draws on research from his new book\, “Wake Island Wildcat\,” available for pre-order now on Amazon or wherever good books are sold. The lecture will begin at 6 p.m. at the Arts Center of Greenwood\, with complimentary refreshments and a cash bar opening at 5:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. \nWhen the Japanese attacked Wake Island in December 1941—the same day as the attack on Pearl Harbor—Marine pilot Henry T. Elrod took to the skies in his F4F Wildcat fighter to defend the American military base on the tiny Pacific atoll\, battling swarms of enemy planes and ships with rare courage and skill for the next two weeks. Captain Elrod\, who had attended Yale and spent his freshman year playing football at the University of Georgia\, had arrived mere days before as part of a fighter squadron of twelve pilots. \nOn December 10 and 11\, Elrod had two of the most remarkable days of the war for any pilot in any theater: he took on a group of twenty-two Japanese planes—shooting down two—and then bombed and strafed the destroyer Kisaragi\, sinking the vessel with all hands and becoming the first American pilot to sink a warship with small caliber bombs delivered by a fighter plane in World War II. Then\, once American aircraft were too damaged to fly\, the pilots joined the ground defense against Japanese invasion forces. Elrod assumed command of one sector of the beach and led the repulse of repeated enemy assaults until he was killed on the last day of the battle\, just before the American surrender. \nThough unsuccessful\, the against-the-odds battle for Wake Island buoyed American morale during a dark period of World War II. Elrod\, who became known as “Hammerin’ Hank\,” was a key figure in the defense. For his gallantry\, he was posthumously promoted to major and awarded the Medal of Honor. A US Navy frigate and a street at Marine Base Quantico were named for him\, and a piece of his plane is on display at the National Air and Space Museum. Drawing on research in military archives and materials from Elrod’s family\, William L. Ramsey tells Hammerin’ Hank’s full story—which is not only the history of the battle for Wake Island but also the experiences that led him to become a Marine fighter pilot—with drama and verve. \nWilliam L. Ramsey is an historian\, poet and professor of history at Lander. He received his Ph.D. from Tulane University in 1998\, and in addition to Lander\, has taught at Tulane\, SUNY Oswego and the University of Idaho. In 2005\, he received the Martin Luther King\, Jr. Distinguished Service Award from the University of Idaho and Washington State University\, acting jointly\, for public activism in defense of civil rights and racial tolerance\, and he was awarded the Outstanding Faculty Award in 2007 by the Student Association of the University of Idaho. His historical articles have appeared in the Journal of American History\, Georgia Historical Quarterly\, and the South Carolina Historical Magazine. His first book\, “The Yamasee War: A Study of Culture\, Economy and Conflict in the Colonial South\,” received the 2008 George C. Rogers Jr. Award for best book of South Carolina history\, sponsored by the South Carolina Historical Society. \nPlease visit www.lander.edu/events for updates and to confirm event times and venues. For questions\, please contact Interim Assistant Provost Dr. Mark Rollins at 864-388-8563 or mrollins@lander.edu.

SUMMARY:Lander University to Host Artists Rojas\, Yazmin
DESCRIPTION:The community is invited to join the Department of Art + Design for a reception and conversation with visiting artists Jorge Rojas and Siara Yazmin on Thursday\, September 5\, at 5 p.m. in the Lander Art Gallery\, located inside the Abney Cultural Center at Lander University. The exhibit\, titled “Mujer: Sanctuary\,” will be on display in the gallery beginning August 21 through September 25. The reception and visits to the gallery are free and open to the public\, and the gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.\, Monday through Friday. \nJorge Rojas is a muralist and educator with thirty years of experience in visual arts. Rojas is known for his large-scale mural art and expertise in the human figure\, and received his formal education from the National University of Colombia. He previously worked as a studio artist and educator in Colombia\, instructing aspiring artists of all age groups\, while also designing diverse large-scale murals for various public and private organizations in Colombia\, Brazil\, the Philippines and the United States. He also owned his own company\, Colombian Cobalt Blue\, which specialized in custom tableware\, utilitarian ceramics and ceramic murals on a commissioned basis. Rojas now works as a full-time commissioned muralist\, residing in Greenville. \nSiara Yazmin learned early in life just how wild and fun art can be. She watched her mother and grandfather create a magical Disney mural in the room she shared with her sister. She was enamored with crazy cartoon shows and fantastical animated movies. The endless possibilities of painting and drawing felt freeing\, and that feeling never left her. Faces have always been her favorite subjects\, either from her imagination or real life. “There is already so much emotion there\, ready to complement the right style and colors\,” she says. Yazmin also loves working with animals\, wildlife and nature as subjects. She hopes to tell a story in each painting\, and it’s touching to her when someone else sees and feels a story of their own in her art. \nPlease visit www.lander.edu/events for updates and to confirm event times and venues. For questions\, please contact the College of Arts and Humanities at 864-388-8323\, or email Perrin Rickenbaker at jrickenbaker@lander.edu. \nTo make a gift to the College of Arts and Humanities\, please visit https://giving.lander.edu/give/CoAH.

SUMMARY:The Laurens County Battles of Fort Williams: The Most Contested Site in the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Nestled between Mountville\, Cross Hill\, and Newberry County\, near a modest creek\, lies the historic location of Fort Williams. Known as the most contested site in America during the American Revolution\, Fort Williams changed hands six times throughout the conflict. This significant site\, hidden in Laurens County’s landscape\, holds a pivotal place in the history of the Southern Campaign of the Revolutionary War. \nHistorian and battlefield preservationist Durant Ashmore will shed light on this crucial chapter in American history during a special presentation on Tuesday\, September 10\, at 7:00 pm at the Laurens County Museum\, located at 116 South Public Square\, Laurens\, SC. The public is warmly invited to attend. Museum members and those 18 years old and under can enjoy the event free of charge\, while others are encouraged to make a suggested donation of $5 to support the museum’s ongoing efforts. \nAshmore highlights the elusive nature of Fort Williams’ exact location. Despite the ambiguity\, General James Williams’ biography\, Backcountry Revolutionary by Will Graves\, chronicles the fort’s role in the war. James Williams\, a prominent figure in the Southern Campaign\, was a pioneer in the Ninety Six District\, a miller\, and a member of the Provisional Assembly before the war. His valor and leadership on the battlefield were instrumental\, though he ultimately fell at the Battle of Kings Mountain. \nThe Laurens County Museum’s exhibit hall is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday\, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. For more information on museum membership\, volunteer opportunities\, or upcoming programs\, please contact the museum at (864) 681-3678\, visit their website at LaurensCountyMuseum.org\, or check their Facebook page.
