About the event
The University of South Carolina will showcase rare footage of Charleston (c. 1920-1970), offering a glimpse into key moments in the city's history, such as the 1926 Ashley River Bridge opening and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s visit. This event highlights the importance of archives in preserving film collections, which are crucial for documenting cultural heritage, facing preservation challenges, and sharing the global impact of these historical moments. The footage represents a powerful tool for understanding the past and ensuring it is accessible for future generations.
