How Can South Carolina Move Beyond the Civil War?

South Carolina ETV’s “The Big Picture” Seeks Common Ground

For Immediate Release
April 12, 2011

Columbia, SC… On Thursday, April 21 at 7 p.m., South Carolina ETV’s “The Big Picture” brings together a diverse array of organizations that rarely share the same stage to discuss how we commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, and how we make peace with this chapter in our history and move past it.

Among the guests appearing on the show are:

• Mark Simpson, SC Commander, Sons of Confederate Veterans
• Jannie Harriot, SC African American Heritage Commission
• Eloise Verdin, President, SC Daughters of the Confederacy
• Blake Hall, Ft. Sumter Ft. Moultrie Trust
• Michael Allen, National Park Service
• Eric Emerson, South Carolina Archives and History

Hosted by Mark Quinn, “The Civil War: Finding Common Ground” presents a civil discussion that seeks to find agreement from seemingly opposing groups on many of the divisive issues surrounding South Carolina’s role in this dark chapter in our nation’s history.

The conversation will continue on Friday, April 22 at 1 p.m., with “The Big Picture on the Radio,” heard on ETV Radio’s news stations.
