Where the infographic will be able to be used throughout the life of the oral history project, each phase needs its own brochure or flier to help easily explain the focus.
Phase I of this project is dedicated to capturing the story of Georgetown’s historically late, public school integration which led to the burning of Winyah High. This wasn't an event 70 years ago that happened when schools were first desegregating. This happened in November 1981. The students, faculty, and staff of Howard and Winyah are both alive and remember it well. Feelings are strong, regardless of which school they attended.
I want to address what the schools' were like in Georgetown at the time as well as what led up to the arson. With such strong feelings on either side, I don't want anyone pressured to speak directly to a racially charged topic. I want everyone involved in sharing their story to understand that the scope of the project and only share what they are comfortable sharing.
I felt for this type of communication, a less expensive option would be best. These will be printed in color as half-sheets (half of 8.5X11 inch piece of letter sized paper.
These can be printed on regular white copy paper or on heavier card stock, depending on our need. They can also be done at the museum, cutting down on costs of professional printing.
And, of course, we need to make sure to include the logo for our benefactors at South Carolina Humanities. Without their planning grant, we wouldn't have a budget to work with to promote the project.
Thank you SCH!
