Forward Together: South Carolina and the Nation in World War IUniversity of South CarolinaOctober 5-6, 2007 The University of South Carolina will host “Forward Together: South Carolina and the Nation in World War I” on October 5-6, 2007.  This academic symposium will examine South Carolina’s experiences during the war as well as larger national issues, including the influenza pandemic, contributions of women and African Americans, and President Woodrow Wilson's wartime leadership and legacy.  Registration is $25. The symposium is part of a multi-institution project titled “Forward Together: South Carolina in World War I.”  The project commemorates the ninetieth anniversary of the United States’ entry into the Great War, and uses exhibitions, public lectures, a documentary, and living history performances to examine the involvement of the Palmetto State in “the war to end all wars.”  The project partnership consists of the South Caroliniana Library (USC), McKissick Museum (USC), the South Carolina State Museum, the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum, the Historic Columbia Foundation, and South Carolina Educational Television.   A full schedule of events is available on the Forward Together web site, http://www.scforwardtogether.org/info.html .  For more information, contact Elizabeth West at 803-777-5158 or uscarchives at sc.edu.   Forward Together is funded in part by the Partnership for a Nation of Learners, a leadership initiative by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Institute for Museum and Library Services.
