      <image:title>Home - Special Notice to all Federal Grant Applicants:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Federal grants listed in the SC Preservation Toolkit are subject to new rules set forth by the current administration. A funding pause is in effect due to the administration’s interpretation of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). WeGOJA recommends reviewing each federal grant to determine its status, and then working directly with the federal agency proponent to determine whether your project qualifies for funding. If you have further questions or need further assistance, please consider local, state, or private granters listed in the Preservation Toolkit, or contact the WeGOJA Foundation at info@wegoja.org.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - New film infuses Art and History into a curriculum-based lesson</image:title>
      <image:caption>The film “South Carolina African American History Through Our Eyes,” is an arts-infused lesson on African American history, told through a student’s discovery. The student, Marcus, an athlete, learns more about the depth and complexity of history as he reconciles his passion for the visual arts with everyday life. With the help of his teacher, Ms. Barnes, he learns, among many examples, that Edwin Augustus Harleston was a famous visual artist from Charleston who was a mentee of W.E.B. Dubois as he attended Clark University in Atlanta, and came back home to serve as the first president of the Charleston NAACP. The 24-minute film covers other undertold legacies and triumphs of the past. The film is part of a project funded by the South Carolina Arts Commission, which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts.</image:caption>

Called “A Legacy of Courage,” the three episodes outline events that helped push the nation into a civil rights crisis, and eventually led to the true movement in the mid- to late 20th century. It also points to historic sites, museums, markers, and other places where this history is interpreted and ready for visitors. Listen here.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Preserving Our Places in History in the Classroom - New film infuses Art and History into a curriculum-based lesson</image:title>
      <image:caption>The film “South Carolina African American History Through Our Eyes,” is an arts-infused lesson on African American history, told through a student’s discovery. The student, Marcus, an athlete, learns more about the depth and complexity of history as he reconciles his passion for the visual arts with everyday life. With the help of his teacher, Ms. Barnes, he learns, among many examples, that Edwin Augustus Harleston was a famous visual artist from Charleston who was a mentee of W.E.B. Dubois as he attended Clark University in Atlanta, and came back home to serve as the first president of the Charleston NAACP. The 24-minute film covers other undertold legacies and triumphs of the past. The film is part of a project funded by the South Carolina Arts Commission, which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts.</image:caption>
