Lecture by: Dr. Jon Hale
Location: Stern Student Center Ballroom at 5:30pm
Background: In April 2014, the College of Charleston will host a series of events entitled, “From Equality to Quality: Commemorating the Brown v. Board of Education (1954) decision.” The “From Equality to Quality” commemoration series is broken into three events— two public forums and one local history project at Burke High School. These events are intended to inform attendees about the history of South Carolina in the monumental Brown decision as well as generate discussion about the status of quality education today. Understanding the history of the movement is central to these commemorative events, specifically hearing from those involved in the history. Invited guests include prominent civil rights activist Robert Moses and Charleston Mayor Joe Riley. Other guests include local South Carolinians involved with the U.S. civil rights movement.

Black High School Activism
CofC Students Research Ancient Glass
Student volunteers are working with Dr. Sterrett-Krause on a new study and publication project of ancient glass from Roman Carthage (modern Tunisia). The glass, excavated in the 1980s and 1990s by American and Tunisian teams at Carthage’s Circus and the neighboring Yasmina Cemetery, has never been systematically and completely studied. Students are working to organize the material according to its excavation context before beginning the detailed study. Future steps in the process will involve examining, cataloguing, drawing, and contextualizing the glass fragments; this study will provide further information about the uses of the sites and their dates, along with the production and use of glass in Roman Carthage. Volunteers are always welcome; no prior archaeological experience is necessary. Please contact Dr. S-K for more information.
