GIVING MATTERS

A Child’s Haven provides mental health services for at-risk preschoolers

n story by REBECCA HOWERTON | photos PROVIDED

In the bright, orderly therapy rooms at A Child’s Haven, Sandra Casanova plays with preschool-aged children, most of whom have been expelled from a typical child care setting. All have a mental health diagnosis and many have suffered abuse, neglect, poverty or other adverse childhood experiences that lead them to outbursts that mainstream child care providers can’t manage.

Using an evidence-based intervention model called Incredible Years, Casanova and the center’s other therapeutic providers create an environment that facilitates optimal development, with predictable routines and activities that promote social, emotional and behav-

A Child’s Haven is committed to providing atrisk children and families with therapeutic services they need to thrive.”

-Tanya Camunas, executive director, A Child's Haven ioral learning. They teach and reinforce coping strategies for managing anxiety, giving children skills needed to deal

with overwhelming emotions.

Casanova’s bilingual clinical treatment provider position was created last year to provide more services for Spanish-speaking children and their families. It was made possible with the help of a grant of $40,000 a year for two years from the Community Foundation’s Margaret Linder Southern Endowment.

“Adding Sandra to our staff has made it possible for us to provide behavioral-health services to our growing at-risk, Spanish-speaking population in our community,” said Tanya Camunas, executive director.

Children with social or emotional delays and behavioral challenges are referred to A Child’s Haven by the Department of Social Services and other agencies, or families can self-refer. A licensed therapist performs a mentalhealth evaluation on-site, and once enrolled children receive four to five hours of therapeutic child care each weekday.

But therapeutic child care is only part of the center’s multigenerational continuum of services. A Child’s Haven is the only facility in South Carolina that also provides center-based individual psychotherapy and in-home family psychotherapy.

FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING IN JUNE 2019

100 out of 114 children served demonstrated improved functioning

88% of them successfully

transitioned to a mainstream child care center or school

“We include caregivers in the treatment process because we know having responsive caregivers is essential to overall child well-being,” Camunas said.

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // FEBRUARY 28

“Many parents have had the same traumatic experiences as their children. We equip them with tools to respond to their children’s behavior in a way that nurtures success and strengthens bonds, so they don’t have to resort to counterproductive reactions.”

This child- and family-focused program’s goals include preventing re-abuse and neglect, improving health and education, and promoting economic well-being by helping parents gain or maintain employment. A Child’s Haven staff refers families to outside agencies to further these goals when needed.

Camunas joined A Child’s Haven in 2017 as director of quality assurance and program evaluation, charged with tracking program data to position the program for statewide replication. In 2018, she became senior director of program and strategy and was appointed executive director in January 2020. Under her leadership, the center employs results-driven, data-informed programming to help the most families possible.

Recent data show real benefits for the children: For the fiscal year ending in June 2019, 100 of 114 children served demonstrated improved functioning as measured by meeting 85% to 100% of their treatment-plan goals, and 98% of them successfully transitioned to a mainstream child care center or school.

The results for families are heartening as well. On completion of the pro-

gram, 96% of caregivers reported being able to deal more effectively with daily challenges. None of the families successfully discharged from A Child’s Haven became re-involved in the childwelfare system. The majority of unemployed caregivers reported gaining employment, improving the economic well-being of the whole family.

The center will break ground soon on a renovation that will allow it to optimize existing space to serve more children, growing from its current capacity of 75 to 95.

“A Child’s Haven is committed to providing at-risk children and families with therapeutic services they need to thrive,” Camunas said. “Our hope is that our clinically proven model will be replicated in other communities.”

Should schools pay sales tax on security-related purchases?

n story & photo by EVAN PETER SMITH

A group of South Carolina lawmakers have introduced a bill that would remove the 6% sales tax for all security-related purchases made by schools, colleges and universities. The tax exemption would apply to both public and private schools.

“You know, we send our children to school to learn,” said Rep. Jason Elliott, who co-sponsored the bill.

“This common-sense legislation will improve the safety of South Carolina students.”

In today’s climate of mass school shootings, school security infrastructure has rapidly expanded to include emergency radio systems, access control, building and property security, radio frequency identification, surveillance, detection and emergency medical response equipment, among other precautions.

And all that stuff doesn’t come cheap.

Lawmakers spoke about the bill at a gathering at Southside Christian School. Sam Barfell, Southside Christian School superintendent, said their school system alone spends roughly $150,000 a year on security.

“And we’re not flush with cash by any means, so any help is always a win for us,” Barfell said, adding that any savings from the tax exemption would likely go right back into adding additional security measures.

Rep. Bobby Cox, another co-sponsor of the bill, said additional security for soft targets like schools was crucial for ensuring their safety.

“I come from an Army Ranger background, so I know a lot about soft targets and hard targets, and about protecting people from those who want to cause harm to innocents,” Cox said. “That’s what this bill does: protects our most valuable resources in the community, our children.”

T

he sum of Xanthene Norris’ life is displayed in her sitting room.

Tabletops are cluttered with grade-school photographs, wedding portraits and civic awards framed by the window.

“The Lord has blessed me because I never said no; I always found a way,” Norris says from her tidy brick home of 60 years in Greenville’s Nicholtown community.

Never say no. It’s a motto that has shaped her life, nearly of all of which has been spent in education and public service.

Norris, 90, is serving her fifth and last term on Greenville County Council after being elected to the District 23 seat in 1997.

As an educator, she taught generations of students as a French teacher at Sterling High School, then as a guidance counselor at Greenville High. Her pupils have included the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., Greenville Mayor Knox White, Greenville City Councilman Russell Stall and state Rep. Chandra Dillard.

“There’s a quality about her,” says Dillard, who’s known Norris all of her life. “She wants excellence from the people she works with, and she’s not afraid of tough issues. She realizes that when a door closes, it doesn’t mean it’s locked forever.

You just have to find a different door.”

THE TEACHER AND GUIDANCE COUNSELOR

Born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Norris grew up in Greenville’s Southernside and attended segregated schools. Her father worked for the railroad company before finding employment as an elevator operator at The Greenville News. Her mother was a schoolteacher.

The Lord has blessed me because I never said no; I always found a way.

-Xanthene Norris

“We were able to live another life,” Norris says of segregation.

She attended Sterling High School, where she worked on the yearbook staff and graduated valedictorian of her class.

In 1997, Norris was approached by several people who wanted her to run for County Council.

Norris was game — she was by then retired and widowed.

Dillard says the campaign was her first entry into politics and recalls going door to door with Norris.

“Every door that we knocked on she had either taught the person, their parents or their uncle or somebody,” Dillard says.

Norris won the Democratic primary easily, receiving 83% of the vote against the incumbent, H.M. Bowen, according to county election results.

THE COUNTY COUNCILWOMAN

In her 22 years on County Council, Norris has been known to be firm but never loud.

A 2006 Greenville News editorial endorsing Norris for reelection praised her as a quiet, effective leader.

“On more than one occasion during a contentious council debate, she has demonstrated her ability to make her point forcefully but without a hint of hostility,” the editorial read.

Part of Norris’ political legacy is her nearly decade-long fight to make Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday a holiday in Greenville County. The issue grew into a movement that made national headlines. News outlets made sure to point out that Greenville County was the last county in the last state to adopt King holiday legislation.

County Council meetings were marked by protests in the months leading up to the vote.

In more than one meeting, Norris recalls seeing Confederate flags in the audience.

But Norris and County Councilwoman Lottie Gibson continued to champion the cause. Eventually Jesse Jackson would join the fight, leading a rally of 10,000 people in support of the holiday.

Norris was also part of a coalition of local civil rights activists who pushed to memorialize the site of the Willie Earle lynching in West Greenville in 2009.

That same year, Norris was honored with the Amy K. Stubbs Women of Achievement Award. It’s just one of the many honors that has been bestowed on Norris over the course of a long, distinguished career.

“She’s one of a kind and an icon in this community,” Dillard says. “Her life speaks to how one person, when they work with others, how they can be a force for good in so many things.”

in Atlanta, which Norris says was the place to be at the time.

The city then was a convergence of young educated blacks who came from all over the country to attend the many black colleges in the area, which included Spelman, Morehouse and Clark, where Norris studied French and social studies.

She came back to Greenville after graduation and got a job teaching at Sterling.

There, Norris would teach or mentor some of Greenville’s most famed civil rights activists, working closely with the Rev. James S. Hall Jr., vice president of the South Carolina NAACP, to counsel a young Jesse Jackson and other members of the “Greenville Eight.”

“We governed those kids on how to act and get ready for the sit-ins,” Norris says.

The Greenville Eight would later help integrate Greenville’s public library, airport and the Woolworth’s lunch counter downtown.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Clemson’s Men of Color Summit highlights high school program for young men n story by ALEX COOPER | photo by CRAIG MAHAFFEY

Retired basketball legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson will discuss his story of entrepreneurial and athletic success during the 2020 Clemson Men of Color National Summit.

Hosted by Clemson University’s Division of Inclusion and Equity, the summit focuses on closing the opportunity gap that affects young African American and Hispanic men. The event, which will be held March 3-4 at the Greenville Convention Center, brings business, government, athletic and academic leaders together to speak to stu-

Senior students of the 2019 Tiger Alliance cohort had a

98% GRADUATION RATE dents about unlocking their potential.

“The caliber of speakers at the summit is something we have been proud of every year,” Lee Gill, Clemson’s chief inclusion officer, said in a release announcing Johnson’s participation. “Not only are they

inspirational examples for the students in attendance, but they embody the leaders we know our students can and will be.”

At the center of the event is Clemson University’s Tiger Alliance. Started in 2017, the program provides ninth-12th grade male high school students with college readiness experiences such as mentorship, college visits and collegeprep workshops. Attending the Men of Color National Summit is one of the benefits for the students involved.

“We are trying to illuminate pathways to college for all of our young men so that when they get to their senior year of high school, they’re making more informed decisions about what they want their next steps to be,” said Matthew Kirk, associate director of Tiger Alliance.

The program creates a community out of these young men to help overcome issues at school and in their local communities.

Tiger Alliance, Kirk said, creates “a space of like-minded people” for students to “be a little more vulnerable” and speak openly about what they want in their futures.

Another obstacle Tiger Alliance helps students overcome, Kirk said, is the racism and discrimination they can face in their schools.

“A lot of educators look at black and brown men and women and assume that they are not college ready,” he said.

Kirk, through the program, aims to overcome this by working with families and encouraging students to advocate for themselves.

Senior participants of the 2019 Tiger Alliance cohort had a 98% graduation rate, according to the release.

Students who graduate from the program can continue to be involved by serving as student ambassadors. José Rodriguez, 19, became one last year. A Clemson pre-med student studying languages and international health, Rodriguez speaks highly of Tiger Alliance and, with Kirk and other team members, will give a presentation on

the program during the South by Southwest conference this March in Austin, Texas.

“Before Tiger Alliance I didn’t know what my plan was after high school,” Rodriguez said. “My parents didn’t go to school, so I never had guidance as to what exactly to do [when applying to colleges].

They were really encouraging though.”

Kirk said about 80% of Tiger Alliance students are first-generation college students.

“We should all have access to education,” Rodriguez said. “If I didn’t have a program like Tiger Alliance, I’m not sure where I would be today.” presented by

The Bank Building Studios now home to four local artists n story & photos by ALEX COOPER

The Bank Building Studios will hold its grand opening on Friday, March 6. Sitting at 1279 Pendleton St., the building will be the new location of four local artists’ studios.

I think it’s necessary for the Village of West Greenville to continue to attract and keep people from the artist community.”

-Michael Watts, co-owner, Bank Building Studios Janina Tukarski Ellis, Patricia Kilburg, Traci Wright Martin and Barbara Castañeda all have individual studios in the new arts hub. It’ll be a space for these established artists to create and share their work with the public and their clients.

It’s a site that even the owners of the building wanted to keep in the art com-

munity. “The Village of West Greenville has always had artists,” says co-owner Michael Watts. “I think it’s necessary for the Village of West Greenville to continue to attract and keep people from the artist community.”

Ellis and Kilburg have been studio mates at the Flatiron building on Pendleton Street for years. Ellis’ studio had been there for 10 years before the move to the Bank Building.

“I love this part of town,” Ellis says.

The opportunity at the Bank Building was “too good to give up” she says, given the structure and its location “right at the heart of the arts district.”

She says the artistic dynamics of the area made her want to stay in the Village.

It’s a sentiment shared by Kilburg.

“It’s a very cool building,” Kilburg says.

“It’s got these wonderful sculptures [out front] and it feels like it’s the most energy-filled spot in West Greenville.”

Martin says the building allows her to get more involved in the art community in Greenville. Having moved to the area only

about a year and half ago, she’s been trying to find her place in the scene.

“All of us in this building have such unique styles of work,” Martin says. “Hopefully there’s something for everyone.”

The desire to connect to the community resonates with all four of these artists. Not only do they share the Bank Building, they share a passion for the Village.

“I hope we can contribute to all the great things that are going on down here,” Castañeda says.

Friday, March 6 6:00-9:00PM 1279 Pendleton St. Grand opening will take place during the March First Fridays Gallery Crawl.

As they head into their opening on March 6, the artists also want to make themselves known as a presence in the community.

“We consider this long-term,” says Kilburg, adding that they want to show “one more example of why this is an arts area.”

Beautifying Main Street to the mountains Across generations, the Wyche family works to improve the vista for all n story by STEPHANIE TROTTER

rad Wyche checks his phone for the time. It seems to be passing more quickly nowadays, in a life hitting a major milestone, yet still filled with plans to impact the entire region.

“I’m actually having a hard time believing I’m really going to be 70 years old,” admits the attorney and environmentalist. “They say age is just a number. Well, that’s a really big number!”

Aside from family gatherings, Brad Wyche also plans to attend Upstate Forever’s annual awards luncheon that will honor him for founding the conservation group and leading it for 17 years.

“I’m really pleased with where I am now in my life and with Upstate Forever,” he reveals. “I had a serious health scare two years ago. Out of the blue, I had a stroke. It made me realize it’s all about carpe diem. Get the most out of every day. Live life to the fullest.”

Tommy Wyche inherited an altruistic spirit from his father Granville, then passed on a love of the outdoors to his son, Brad.

The Wyche definition of “full” is different than most. No one can walk Greenville’s Main Street or drive across the Upstate without witnessing the family’s handiwork. And it all started with a country doctor.

PROSPERITY OR BUST

Against the odds of the Civil War and Reconstruction, Cyril Thomas Wyche managed to leave his native North Carolina to attend medical school and set up practice in Prosperity, a town in Newberry County. The doctor immediately injected public service into the Wyche family DNA. He rode on horseback to house calls and served in the state House of Representatives for 14 years, where he advocated for education and the creation of a state health department.

The doctor’s youngest son, Granville Wyche, witnessed this life of personal sacrifice, and in 1916 accepted an appointment as assistant U.S. attorney for the district of South Carolina. Through that post, Granville became the first Wyche to move to Greenville.

“I remember Papa Wyche well,” shares his grandson, Brad Wyche. “He lived to 97.

Dad and I would go visit him on Sunday afternoons at his home on Augusta Road that’s now the Chandler School. He was such a nice guy, so friendly and selfless.”

After five years in public law, Granville Wyche entered private practice with Cothran, Dean & Wyche. The firm changed names multiple times over the years, but one element stayed the same: The practice served as a springboard for its attorneys to aid the community.

“That became an expectation the firm continues to this day,” explains Brad Wyche, who worked at Wyche, Burgess, Freeman & Parham for 19 years. “The

Tommy Wyche attended Greenville High, where he stood out as a leader and courted younger classmate Harriet Smith, who would become his wife.

In college, he and Granville exchanged many letters about his joining the family firm. He soon committed himself to the firm, family, pro bono work and community improvements.

Each day, he took in his surroundings while entering the office on Main Street, above where Soby’s now sits. In the 1960s and 1970s, many viewed downtown Greenville as an eyesore. Tommy Wyche dreamed of R&R: restoration and renovation. First, he collaborated with others to create the civic center cluster now called Heritage Green. He then focused on Main Street and contacted an architectural design firm to build water sculptures. Their feedback went far beyond fountains and against conventional wisdom, recommending narrowing Main Street from four lanes to two, planting trees and widening sidewalks to make them pedestrian friendly.

“Dad got fired up,” recalls Brad Wyche.

“He worked with his friends Max Heller, who was mayor, and Buck Mickel, a wellrespected corporate executive. They were a great team. Max was the leader, the politician. Buck was real gregarious, talking things up. Dad was quiet behind the scenes, getting the legal work done.”

That plan formed the foundation of Greenville’s award-winning streetscape, which thousands walk today.

“Tommy was one of our community leaders who insisted on ‘going bold,’” says current Mayor Knox White. “That’s the lesson I learned from him. Bring in the best designers you can and insist on excellence.”

Tommy Wyche and his son soon set their sights on much bigger places for the public to play.

lawyers need to give back. They need to be involved. That’s always been the expectation in the firm and in the family.”

Granville Wyche volunteered his legal skills with the Greenville Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club. He also leveraged his oratory skills at multiple state and national Democratic Party conventions, campaigning for Franklin D. Roosevelt.

As they say, like father like son. But Granville Wyche’s son, Tommy, took the family’s altruistic intentions to new elevations in the surrounding mountains and city streets.

Harriet Wyche was instrumental in leading the Carolina Foothills Garden Club to build what is now Falls Park Falls Park in the 1960s and ’70s. “She was a visionary herself,” Brad Wyche states. “The first domino to fall in rebuilding downtown was the park in the ’60s with mom. The river was badly polluted. But they were determined they were going to have a park to celebrate Greenville’s birthplace.”

LAND LORDS

As focused as Tommy Wyche was on revitalizing the city, he also enjoyed the wilderness. Brad Wyche recalls countless canoe and hiking trips with his dad, and one story of warning. The first time Tommy flew to Los Angeles and witnessed sprawl and smog creeping up the nearby hills, he vowed to stop that from happening to his beloved Blue Ridge Mountains.

In 1973, he created the Naturaland Trust, one of the Southeast’s oldest conservation land trusts. The organization protects significant tracts of land in South Carolina, making them available for public use.

“His 40-plus year effort has resulted in 100,000 acres of protected wilderness,” Brad Wyche says. “It’s one of the most significant conservation achievements in our nation’s history.”

Brad Wyche also embraced Tommy Wyche’s love of the outdoors and, after experiencing the inaugural Earth Day as a college student, changed his undergraduate major to environmental studies. After obtaining a master’s degree in natural resources management and a law degree, he too joined the family practice, specializing in environmental law.

“As much as I enjoyed it, I just felt like I needed to give back more,” admits Brad Wyche. “I saw a true need for a group like Upstate Forever. I could see development coming and thought we’ve got to manage that and protect special places before it’s too late.”

In 1998, he gave up his job to jumpstart Upstate Forever from his home. The first project secured land for the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail. Today, the nonprofit group employs 21 people, who have inked 123 conservation agreements protecting 23,500 acres, while guiding land planning and policy.

“Brad is a visionary.

He was talking about land-use planning and land protection before the Upstate was experiencing this unprecedented growth,” says current Upstate Forever Executive Director Andrea Cooper. “One of his legacies is that he’s insured the protection of many iconic places, while allowing for sustainable development.”

At 65, Brad transitioned from executive director to senior adviser. He just capped off chairing the organization’s capital campaign, which brought in $8.4 million. He wants to travel more with his wife, Diane, and spend more time with his children and grandchildren. The living patriarch hopes future generations will carry on the family tradition of serving others.

“Granville was very well respected and had impeccable integrity. My father is an impossible act to follow,” confesses Brad. “If I can do 10% of what Dad did in my life, I’ll be very happy. We need to give back.”

WYCHE PAVILION The open-air brick building on the shores of the Reedy River dates back to the early 20th century, when it served as a coach factory paint shop and then a mayonnaise production and packaging plant. The Peace Center obtained the abandoned building in the late 1980s, and it was named The Wyche Pavilion in honor of Tommy and Harriet for their dedication and leadership in “restoring downtown Greenville.”

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // FEBRUARY 28

This year marks the Palmetto Curling Club’s 10th anniversary. The club has met on Tuesday nights at the Pavilion Recreation Complex in Taylors since 2010. This season, the club is moving to its own dedicated ice rink for the first time.

The new rink, which Palmetto Curling Club will share with the Carolina Rage youth hockey league, is located at 211 School St. in Greer.

Daniel Fort, a current board member who was one of the club’s founding members, says he expects the membership to grow this year, but it currently stands at an average of 85 members.

Every Olympic year, curling grows exponentially. Typically, its number of players doubles in membership across the U.S., according to Fort. The Vancouver Olympics in 2010 first inspired Fort to reach out to Beau Welling, a Greenvillian who competed on the U.S. Curling Team.

“I fell in love with curling in the 1998 Olympics, but it was 12 years before I touched my first curling stone,” Fort says.

“In 2010, I saw an article in the news about Beau Welling competing in Vancouver, so I looked him up on Facebook and said ‘Hey, I’m in Greenville and have wanted to curl for 12 years; let’s do this.’”

Together with Welling, who currently sits on the board of the World Curling Federation, Fort formed the Palmetto Curling Club.

THAT'S INTERESTING:

curling rocks come from the same quarry of granite in Scotland named Ailsa Craig.

I fell in love with curling in the 1998 Olympics, but it was 12 years before I touched my first curling stone.”

-Daniel Fort, board member, Palmetto Curling Club It was the first curling club in South Carolina. Now there are two additional clubs, in Charleston and Columbia, but it’s still an unusual sport in the South. Fort says, “We’d be at the bonspiels [tournaments] and people would ask, ‘You’re from South Carolina and you curl?’”

The club is primarily social. At present, membership is open to men and women above the age of 18, and Fort reports that the club’s oldest member is in his late 70s. In its new home, the club’s leadership is hoping to expand membership to junior throwers aged 10-12. Palmetto Curling Club also offers paracurling with wheelchairs donated by the Roger C. Peace Center.

Fort says he’s excited to see the coming growth the Ice Station move will allow.

“We’ve been limited on our ice time, because there’s hockey, ice skating, curling, and everyone needs ice time. With the expansion of the Pavilion, there will be additional common areas, but currently there is no handicap access to the common area because of the stairs.”

Due to the renovations, the club’s normal 10-12 week schedule would have been shortened to five or six weeks had they not been able make the Ice Station move.

The 2020 Spring League begins Feb. 25. Those interested in learning to curl or joining the league can find more information at www.palmettocurling.com.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Greenville’s black athletes helped moved the goal posts for national sports’ desegregation n story by JOHN JETER | photos PROVIDED

Like a quarterback drilling pass after pass, Merl Code fires off names of the Greenville athletes he played against during high school in the 1960s. They all went on to make their marks in professional football as the NFL slowly moved the ball down the desegregation field.

Code’s voice rises like the litigator he is as he recalls his former gridiron opponents: J.D. Smith, who later played for the San Francisco 49ers, Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys; Bill Thompson, Denver Broncos; Roy Kirksey, New York Jets; and Willie Belton, Atlanta Falcons.

“I played against all of them,” says Code, a lawyer at Ogletree Deakins and the first African American municipal court judge and first African American president of the Greater Greenville Chamber of Commerce. “I played all these guys in high school.”

As it turned out, he faced off against them in college, too. Code grew up in Seneca, where he played for Blue Ridge High School until graduating in 1966. A cornerback at North Carolina A&T, Code found himself opposite many of them again in college.

Smith and Thompson played for Sterling High School, the all-black school that closed in 1970. Belton and Kirksey played at Washington High. Smith went on to the Aggies, while the others became standouts at University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

“At the time, Maryland State had the largest and probably one of the best football teams in the country, but it was segregated,” he says. “It was hard to explain

how much talent each of those teams had. If you remember, segregation put us all together; it did not allow us to go but to black schools, so you had some extraordinary talent all compiled in black schools.”

What happened to all those talented athletes who never made it to Above: Top: J.E.

E.B. Holloway championed African American interests in early 20th century Greenville n story by JOHN JETER | photos PROVIDED

Greenville’s first black letter carrier, hailed as one of the earliest proponents for a park in West Greenville, is now seen as an inspiration for what is becoming Unity Park.

“The Negroes of this city have been seeking for some time for an outlet for the surplus energy of their boys and girls, also for people in general.”

Elias Brown Holloway wrote in a letter published in the Greenville Piedmont newspaper on March 30, 1939.

“We want the park because we need it. We want the park because our social and recreational life is at stake. Please give us a park.”

Holloway also made his case to Greenville City Council in June 1939, bearing 376 names on a petition, according to the city’s Unity Park website.

While the city today puts Holloway at the forefront of advocates for a recreational site for people in general, “what became of the plan for a new African American park is unclear,” the site says.

What is clear is that Holloway, who was born in Charleston in 1888, became an outspoken leader, a deacon at John Wesley United Methodist Church, a teacher and principal. He was also a prolific contributor to newspapers’ editorial pages with columns and letters to the editor.

“He was quite vocal,” says Courtney Tollison, distinguished university public historian and scholar at Furman University. “You get the sense that was his personality. He’s really kind of an earlier member of the pantheon of people who established the foundation for Greenville’s He’s really kind of an earlier member of civil rights the pantheon of people who established movement.”

“The regular carriers like Holloway earned $850 per year,” a Postal Service historian says, adding that by 1911, “Mr. Holloway was listed as earning $1,200 as a letter carrier at Greenville.”

The John Wesley church bulletin for Feb. 16 showcases Holloway, along with a contemporary, Benjamin E. Mays, the renowned civil rights activist who was born in 1894 in Ninety Six, South Carolina. Holloway died in 1976 and Mays in 1984.

“There are several records (19291947) of John Wesley Methodist Church involving Holloway, including minutes of meetings, financial records and other church papers,” the bulletin says.

In a 1942 letter to the S.C. Conference of the Methodist Church, Holloway wrote about a ”profitable year for farmers reflected in the large amount of money collected from congregations,” the bulletin says, and another “condemning the Ku Klux Klan and its activities.”

The University of South Carolina holds a trove of Holloway’s papers, while Tollison says Greenville still holds the benefits of his legacy.

Greenville Derby Dames searching for temporary home rink

n story by ANNA LEE | photo by AARON BRIDGEMAN

Greenville’s roller derby team is looking for a new home court — at least temporarily.

With the Pavilion Recreation Center in Taylors closed and under renovation through October, the Derby Dames are scrambling to find a suitable rink to hold their home bouts for the 2020 season, said Alexandria Dougherty, a Derby Dames board member who skates under the name Axle.

Dougherty said the team needs to find an indoor venue in Greenville County with at least 10,000 square feet of space and access to restrooms.

“The WFTDA [Women’s Flat Track Derby Association] has regulations on our space size so skaters and fans can enjoy the sport safely,” she said.

In roller derby, two teams skate around a track, competing to score points against one another. A team comprises four blockers and a jammer, who acts as the ball in the game. It’s the jammer’s job to make

laps around the other team — each skater she passes is worth a point.

Currently, practices are held at Skate Land USA off White Horse Road. Dougherty said the team has already been forced to cancel its first home game of the season due to its lack of venue. The Dames’ next home game is in May. “If we cannot find a space soon, our team and our skaters will be displaced,” Dougherty said.

The evolution of the Southern Bleachery and Print Works A century of change brings a textile mill full circle to a modern-era marketplace facilitating craft and commerce for a new generation.

CURRENT TENANT LIST FOR TAYLORS MILL • 13 Stripes Brewery • Appalachian Spirit Folk Instruments • ASR Enterprises LLC • BoltAffect • Humble Web Developers • Carolina Recycling Company • Carrington Films • Cotton Rouge & Company

n story by JEANNIE PUTNAM | photos WILL CROOKS

• C&W Roofing, Siding, & Window Co.

Joining other textile mills in Greenville County in 1924, the Southern Bleachery was designed by the J.E. Sirrine Co. This facility allowed neighboring mills to send their unfinished cotton over to be bleached, dyed and finished into material to make clothing and other items.

During operation, the Southern Bleachery grew into a campus with houses, stores, churches, school, athletic teams, a tennis court, a nine-hole golf course and more. In 1928, Piedmont Print Works bought acreage from the Bleachery and ran as an independent business until 1932, when the companies merged into the Southern Bleachery and Print Works.

Like many other industries, the bleachery switched its operations to support the war effort during World War II. While this business survived the Great Depression and two world wars, it eventually found that it could not compete against globalization, third-world labor rates and inexpensive foreign imports. The Southern Bleachery closed its doors in 1965, resulting in area businesses drying up and homes being auctioned.

The property, consisting of the main building, warehouses, a smokestack, detached boiler room with smokestack, a filtration plant and two ponds, sat dormant until 2007, when Kenneth and Ruby Walker began to envision how its nearly 1 million square feet could be used.

The Walkers found the massive structure overgrown with vegetation, boarded over in places and exposed to the elements in others. Under their guidance, the idea of Taylors Mill, a space for artists, craftsmen, hobbyists, small business and entrepreneurs to all come together, was born. After hearing the plans for the space, Lawrence and Ashley Black signed on to the project. In addition, the building was listed as a national landmark in 2012.

Following the trend of old mills repurposed as high-end apartment buildings, the Blacks decided to create a development everyone could enjoy, including an event space for gatherings.

Since 2015, the Venue by Southern Bleachery; the Marketplace for artists, makers and regional industries; the Hill outdoor space for concerts, plays, picnics and more; 13 Stripes Brewery; Junto Coffee and other tenants have joined. The over 15-acre property also features walking trails, rocking chairs and an old truck that serves concessions.

A grittier ‘Les Miserables’ returns to the Peace Center

What strikes Mary Kate Moore about the musical “Les Miserables,” returning to the Peace Center on March 3, is how real, relevant and often raw the story seems.

Take, for instance, the character Moore plays, Fantine. Jilted by her lover, Fantine raises her child alone, suffers physical abuse and falls into destitution, losing her beauty and her health.

I think it can be hard for people to watch, but it’s really a powerful story because it draws attention to the fact that it’s still happening.”

-Mary Kate Moore, Fantine

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // FEBRUARY 28

“What she experiences still happens to millions of women around the globe,” Moore said. “I think it can be hard for people to watch, but it’s really a powerful story because it draws attention to the fact that it’s still happening.”

“Les Miserables,” based on Victor Hugo’s epic novel, centers on Jean Valjean, imprisoned for 19 years — for merely stealing a loaf of bread — and later trailed obsessively by the self-righteous police inspector Javert.

The main plot is set against the backdrop of the Paris uprising of 1832 with students and workers fighting for “les miserables” — the impoverished and starving people of France.

It’s really a story about social justice, redemption and forgiveness, Moore said, and the national tour of “Les Miserables” emphasizes the timelessness of those themes.

“In past productions, it’s been more about the music than the story, but we

represent our characters as very human, honest and real,” Moore said, speaking by phone from Cincinnati during a tour stop.

“These characters could be alive now.”

With a cast of 38, this production is based on the 2014 Broadway revival, featuring scenery inspired by Hugo’s paintings. Eight performances are scheduled at the Peace Center.

BROADWAY CLASSICS

The musical spotlights songs and ensemble numbers that have become Broadway classics, including “On My Own,” “Stars,” “Bring Him Home” and “One Day More.”

And then there’s the heartbreaking “I Dreamed a Dream,” sung by Moore’s Fantine.

“It’s an awesome responsibility,” Moore said. “I’m really honored to play this role simply because of the amazing female performers who’ve gone before me.”

Among the acting legends who’ve por-

Moore’s favorite part of the show is the Act I finale when the chorus, ready for battle, sings the rousing “One Day More.” At that point, Moore, in a dark wig, is no longer Fantine but has rejoined the ensemble.

“I love marching in the famous ‘V’ formation with the red flag flying above us,” Moore said. “It’s an iconic moment in theater history.”

I wonder where is all my relation Friendship to all and every nation Experience the powerful story of David Drake, an enslaved African-American who worked as a “turner” in several pottery manufacturing facilities in South Carolina’s Edgefield District. Drake, who was known only as “Dave” before 1865, learned to both read and write, dangerous and even illegal skills for a slave to possess. Drake openly expressed his literacy by inscribing original poems on many of the utilitarian works he created.

The identities of millions of enslaved African-Americans, whose talents and labor supported the development of American culture, were overlooked or disregarded by recorded history. Through the modest wares handcrafted and inscribed by David Drake, at least one remarkable voice remains to speak on behalf of the lives and stories irretrievably lost.

The GCMA is home to the largest institutional collection of pottery vessels by David Drake, including single-handle jugs, storage jars, pitchers, a syrup jug, and a rare butter churn.

“Hedwig and the Angry Inch” seems to be a musical whose time has arrived.

Though it debuted 22 years ago, the hardcharging rock show explores issues that are a big part of today’s cultural debate: gender fluidity, diversity and inclusion.

“Hedwig” roars into the Warehouse Theatre on Feb. 28 even as local community groups call on Greenville County Council to rescind an anti-gay resolution dating from 1996. That’s just a coincidence, but it seems a reflection of the times.

Stephen Trask’s musical centers on the genderqueer song stylist Hedwig, a largely overlooked rock goddess who also happens to be the victim of a botched sex reassignment operation.

Backed by the live rock band “The Angry Inch,” Hedwig tells her story through song and comedy — about her deprived boyhood in East Berlin, her relationship with an American soldier, that imperfect sex-change operation, her journey to the U.S. and abandonment by her husband.

It’s a rocking, funny, touching and ultimately inspiring musical, said Clay Smith, a Greenville native who returns to the city to play Hedwig.

“I think it reminds everyone that you’re a whole and worthy person as you are,” Smith said. “You don’t need to seek permission to be anything other than who you are.”

Hedwig herself is a complex character, flamboyantly extroverted but also full of pain and anger at a life that has given her an inch when she feels she deserved a mile.

“She is desperate for peace in understanding who she is, which is not very different from every one of us,” Smith said.

The show reflects Hedwig’s own journey of self-discovery and acceptance, he said.

A high-octane rock score propels the musical.

“The music is infectious,” Smith said.

“It’s hold-your-lighter-in-the-air rock ‘n’

It’s hold-your-lighterin-the-air rock ‘n’ roll. It connects to your soul.

You cannot leave this show unaffected by it.”

-Clay Smith, Hedwig roll. It connects to your soul. You cannot leave this show unaffected by it.”

Smith, now based in New York, is best known for his cabaret performances and his appearances on America’s Got Talent as the drag queen Delighted Tobehere. He also hosts a regular drag brunch at Greenville’s Café and Then Some.

Smith said of Hedwig, “It’s a monster of a role, but I’ve been supported wonderfully by the Warehouse Theatre and [director] Andrew Scoville, the most compassionate, driven and authentic person I’ve ever worked with. I feel safe being uncomfortable.”

The only other character in the play — aside from Hedwig and the four-person band — is Hedwig’s assistant and husband, Yitzhak, played, in another gender-bending twist, by local actress Miranda Barnett.

Scoville, the New York-based director staging the Warehouse’s “Hedwig,” normally approaches a theatrical work in a carefully controlled fashion, but this musical is all about spontaneity, he said.

“Playing to find the best way to tell the story has been scary but also freeing and not something I get to do very often,” said Scoville, who directed the Warehouse’s “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson two years ago. “It has been a unique and joyful part of the process.”

Theater-goers should note: The show includes strong language.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

DOVE DUPREE: uSING HIS VoICE, KEEPING tHE fAItH n story by JOHN JETER | photo PROVIDED

Dove Dupree adopted his stage name only within the last few years, but he began his music/poetry/theater career in fourth grade at Elwood Elementary School in Philadelphia.

“I did a rap in front of my school assembly called ‘Don’t Do Drugs,’ and, like, I was mumbling and I don’t think anybody understood a word that I said,” the 29-year-old multi-artist recalls. “When you’re 7, you’re rapping about crayons and cartoons. It’s nothing great, but I never stopped.”

The thing I want to do is, I want to make an impact in a positive way — every song, every poem that I do.

-Dove Dupree, poet

These days, Dupree’s a rising force in Greenville’s literary and performing-arts scene, especially in spoken-word poetry.

He found opportunity and community in Greenville after graduating from Gardner-Webb University, a Christian university in Boiling Springs, North Carolina, where he earned a degree in theater and communications in 2013. In Greenville, he worked for about five years as a substitute teacher and in the library at East North Elementary School.

Now he’s a “lyricist, poet and educator,” as Wit’s End Poetry describes him.

As a member of the Say What?! Greenville poetry-slam team, he earned finalist and semifinalist spots in the Southern Fried and National Poetry Slam competitions, respectively.

Last summer, Dupree threw himself full-time into writing, music and performing. He beams about a recent week that saw him filming a commercial in Greensboro; working on a new song in a recording studio and on a film in Columbia; and teaching poetry at a middle school.

He also runs social-media marketing and video services and teaches poetry and acting through the Metropolitan Arts Council’s SmartARTS program.

“It has been inspiring to watch Dove’s transformation from an emerging poet

into one of the top lyricists in the Southeast,” says Kimberly Simms Gibbs, Wit’s End Poetry’s founder and executive director, who also works at the arts council.

“With his level of talent and his commitment to mentoring youth, Dove Dupree has big things on the horizon.”

Likewise, award-winning poet Moody Black effuses about the young man he calls “my little brother.”

“I love him to death. He’s such a talented individual, a high-spirited person, just a good guy,” says Black, who was featured in the Greenville Journal in 2017 as one the city’s “hidden gems.” “It’s really rare to say that about a lot of people, but he is just an all-around good guy — like, he aspires to be good in everything he does.”

Black describes Dupree’s poetry much the same way the artist himself does.

“Healing, growth, everything he does — all his work exemplifies that. A lot of his poems are from the perspective of telling someone else’s journey, how they’re trying to overcome something or grow from something.”

Dupree shies away from dwelling on African-American issues in his work, be it rap or straight-ahead poetry.

“You see me, I wake up black, obviously, but, no, I just want to make sure that I’m just doing the right thing. There are issues to address as a black person, as a male, as a believer, but I think the thing that ultimately shapes my life, more than anything, has been my faith.”

Says Black, “His story’s from our plight, much as he may not admit it, but he has a lot of tales from the African diaspora.

Even his own personal struggles reflect a lot of our struggles, but once you break it all down, we all have the same basic struggles — seeking love, seeking healing.”

Ultimately, that’s what Dupree says he wants: to make art that makes an impact.

That, and marrying his fiancée, Kristan Alewine, an administrator at Tanglewood Elementary School, and starting a family one day and opening his own rec center where he can teach and work on all of his art.

“The thing I want to do is, I want to make an impact in a positive way — every song, every poem that I do.” pp r er e se se nn t et e d db b yy

10 years of ‘One Voice’ with Jeremiah Dew n story by JESSICA MULLEN | photo PROVIDED

Now in his 10th year of sharing his "One Voice" performance, Jeremiah Dew looks back on the African American voices that have shaped his community and his country.

In February 2011, Dew booked the Warehouse Theater for what was originally intended to be a two-night show. On the day he turned 27, Dew recalls, “I showed up and I was told by the artistic director that there was somebody coming from the hospital system so they could screen 'One Voice' for me to potentially perform it for their employees. I said to the director, 'What do you mean they heard about the show? We haven’t done it yet! I just finished memorizing it this afternoon!'”

After the hospital, he performed "One Voice" at a church. “And that was right around 100 performances ago,” Dew says.

Over 50,000 audience members and 10 years later, Dew still wonders over the show’s impact, saying, “I had no idea how many people would be emotionally moved by this show. I didn’t realize how timeless it was going to be."

He’s performed the show locally dozens of times, as well as traveling to Charleston and Charlotte. He’s taken the show on the road as far as Pennsylvania, Illinois and even California.

I’m not telling you how to think. You’re hearing the actual words from these people, and you get to decide what to do with your one voice moving forward.

-Jeremiah Dew

In "One Voice," Dew portrays five notable figures of African American history: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Barack Obama, Muhammad Ali, Frederick Douglass and James Weldon Johnson.

"The most relatable [of these five] and the hardest to relate to is the nonviolent, passive approach to social change that Dr. King embodies. He was jailed 29 times over the course of his career for trumped-up charges. His retaliation was more marches, more speeches, more songs, more prayers and more organizing. It was never violence," Dew says. "In 2020 … I see a lot of name

Dew also shows video vignettes of the local heroes who have shaped the Upstate's civil rights movement. In recent years, he has added new stories, all of which share experiences of “being Greenvillian while black in the '30s, '40s, '50s and '60s,” Dew says.

In 2018, 50 years to the day after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, Dew debuted the story of Dr. Grady Butler, a Sterling High graduate who sat in jail with King for four days after being arrested at a restaurant sit-in in the Atlanta area.

This past January, Dew added Elayne Wittenberg-Boyce’s voice to commemorate the 50th anniversary of desegregation of Greenville County Schools with a 20-minute mini-documentary.

“There’s no commentary on the show.

You’ll never see JDew on stage,” the renowned local emcee says of himself and his role in the show. “I’m not persuading you.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

I was raised to live with the music before searching for the next thing. You live with the music for a few weeks or a few months because opinions can change.

-Shyland Flowers, rapper

Hip-hop artist Shyland Flowers is nostalgic by nature VINCENT HARRIS Contributor

Sometimes necessity is, in fact, the mother of invention, and Upstate rapper, producer and songwriter Shyland Flowers says he was initially drawn to hip-hop music for one very simple reason.

“If I’m being completely honest,” he says with a laugh, “it’s because I can’t sing. If I could sing, I’d be doing a whole different thing.”

It’s a good line, but the truth is a little more complex than that. Flowers also became a rapper because he loved the hiphop genre and wanted to explore it.

“Hip-hop is the most loved, but most misunderstood, genre of music,” he says. “When you’re young and impressionable, you see the Jay-Zs or the Cam’rons or the Kanyes, and you want to be those types of people.

And I’d always written poems, anyway, so I kind of just fell into that.”

Is Safe,” all of which put his confident, unpredictable delivery front and center over creative beats and synth-spiked arrangements.

Flowers can vocally dance around a track with ease, laying down double-time and offkilter rhymes that always land dead center, but he says it’s taken some time for him to feel confident about his rapping. And that’s probably because he was influenced by some of the best, and most intimidating, MCs of all time.

“It’s taken 10 years for me to finally be comfortable with my flow,” he says. “I think Jay-Z is probably the greatest rapper of all time, and when I was coming up, I was listening to a lot of Jay-Z, a lot of Nas, a lot of East Coast kind of rap. To me, their flow was like water; that’s who I looked up to the most.”

FLOW LIKE WATER

‘A NOSTALGIA-BASED ARTIST’

Over the past year or so, the Upstate-byway-of-Washington rapper has released a slew of singles and an EP called “No One

32

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // FEBRUARY 28

Lyrically, Flowers eschews the typical braggadocio or gangsta tales and comes from the heart, whether he’s talking about

memories of his youth or a woman he’s pining after, or both, as he does on his recent single, “Monalisabonet.”

“I can get political and I can do my social commentary, but a lot of my stuff comes from nostalgia,” he says. “I refer to myself as a nostalgia-based artist. I talk about my childhood and my upbringing or my experiences in middle school and high school. And I love talking about girls that I love that I could never actually be with; those are my favorite topics.

Despite releasing various singles, collaborations and an EP in the last year, Flowers says that in general, he prefers to take his time with his material.

“I don’t like releasing a lot of music,” he says, “and a lot of people have told me that that’s to my detriment. And maybe I’m not where I want to be in life, but I was raised to live with the music before searching for the next thing. You live with the music for a few weeks or a few months because opinions can change. I try to space out singles and release albums when I really need to,

and then keep moving.”

Flowers is a mainstay of the Upstate hip-hop scene, and he says there’s been a steady improvement on that scene over the last few years, citing fellow local artists like Skully, Khemo and Wordplay Luck as inspirations. But he also says there’s a lot more room to grow.

“It’s not at the place where I’d want it to be, but it’s in a way better place than it’s ever been,” he says. “I feel now that there are more studios and there are more live acts. When I first started, there was maybe one studio for rappers to go to in Greenville, but now there are more avenues. It’s growing, and growth is always good.” presented by
