Taproots : a study in cultural exploration

Abstract

In the spring of 1975, six schools (Briggs Elementary, Florence, Camden High School, Camden, Columbia High School, Columbia, York High School, York, Blue Ridge High School, Greenville County, Greenville High School, Greenville) from five sites in South Carolina participated in a Special Bi-Centennial Project, a Cultural Exploration Program sponsored by the South Carolina Arts Commission and funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. Basically, the idea was to encourage students (elementary through high school) to take notice of their own surroundings as subject matter - an idea which caught and sparkled for them in a hundred directions, as evidenced in these pages.
