African American History Trail Tour - Lake City, SC

room 8 ECHOES

Location: Lake City, South Carolina, United States

The roots of African American history runs deep in South Carolina, providing a rich history that spans over three centuries and every corner of the state. Stories of the enslaved and free people of color to civil rights activists, politicians, educators, pastors and many more all contributed to this history. The constant struggle for equality and freedom is often seen in these stories. Lake City was no exception and this rich legacy lives on in the city at historical sites, remnants, oral histories, and cultural traditions. This tour highlights some of Lake City's historical African American sites while telling the unique story that Lake City contributed to African American history in the state of South Carolina and the nation.

There are eight sites on this tour throughout the city including the Ronald E. McNair Library and Monument, P.D. Cockfield House, Lynches Historical Society Building (former segregated hospital), Frazier Baker (Lake City) Post Office, the Lynching of Frazier Baker Historical Marker (Deep River Street and Church Street), Greater St. James A.M.E. Church Historical Marker, Lake City Rosenwald (segregated) School, and the Bronze Huey Cooper Statue.

IMPORTANT: READ BELOW Welcome to historic Tarboro, North Carolina. Today’s interactive walking tour will give you an inside look into the town’s historic landmarks, buildings, and homes. This app, called Echoes, will serve as an audio guide for your tour of historic Tarboro. Echoes uses smart location-aware technology that will allow you to explore the town of Tarboro at your own pace, taking breaks or dining at one of our delicious restaurants at your leisure. If you look at your screen, you will see a number of shapes scattered across the map. These are locations of interest.

Wherever you start, we welcome you to our beautiful town and encourage you to explore the map and visit as many locations as possible. Ever since its founding, Tarboro has been at the heart of history in the South. The North Carolina State Legislature met here once in 1787 and again in 1987. At one time, our town was even under consideration to be the state capital of North Carolina. President George Washington slept in Tarboro during a visit on his 1791 Southern tour, and is noted to have said of our town that [quote] “it was the best salute you could have from a single cannon.”

Botanical Garden Soundwalk Project

Botanical Garden Soundwalk Project

On Earth Day 2021, the Botanical Garden Soundwalk was unveiled to the public and will remain through Summer 2021 and beyond. This soundwalk installation features a variety of soundscapes composed by student and faculty members of the Student Composers Association (SCA) of the University of Georgia. Playback of soundscapes on the ECHOES app is prompted by the geolocational positioning of the listener within the collections of the botanical gardens. Visitors may design their own interactive soundtrack by virtue of the duration and order of regions they encounter. A range of soundscapes is assembled here from multiple contributors, each with a unique sound approach to illustrate aspects of the natural environment. Charge your phone. Bring your headphones. Wear comfortable shoes. Be inspired. Note: After downloading the ECHOES app to your smart device, access the UGA Botanical Garden Soundwalk by going to https://tinyurl.com/ugasoundwalk or scan the QR-code available at the Visitor Center of the UGA Botanical Gardens.
