Those who pay attention as they are driving on Highway 17 in the Pawleys Island area may have noticed the ruins of an old motel behind a fence and a street sign saying "Old Beach Road." That is what is left of McKenzie Beach, once a popular and well-known vacation resort. But what made it important then was that it was a beach for African-Americans at a time when direct access to the Atlantic oceanfront in the Jim Crow South was extremely limited. The exhibit is made up of paintings that have been used as the illustrations for the book McKenzie Beach Memories, published by CLASS Publishing and available in September. The "Gratitude" fabric arts exhibit by Cookie Washington of Goose Creek, SC, will be in the Lowcountry Center Auditorium through Nov. 26, and can be viewed by only 10 guests at a time.

Friday, Sept. 11 11 AM-1 PM - The Moveable Feast: Ron Sardanopoli ( Leap of Trust) at Pawleys Plantation. Fittingly, we'll have a first responder from the infamous 9/11 present on this 9/11! Ron Sardanopoli paints a vivid picture as he personally experiences a decade of a poverty stricken South Bronx, New York City communities, during the 1970s. While these communities are being burned down to the ground, politicians and senior leaders are overwhelmed and confused, unable to find a resolution, while people are suffering from oppressive social conditions. Amidst these surroundings resonates a thrilling inspirational boxing story filled with history as a youth's perseverance and plight in the face of the gritty background of poverty, burning apartment buildings, jobless tenants, homelessness, street gangs, and crime. A story about a youth, born and raised in a specific time and place, who is searching for a way to break away from these conditions. This inspirational story in the face of social poverty is a true story. Ron also enters the charged lives of human beings in the sport of boxing, for whom it really is life. Face covering required through presentation and booksigning, gloves/hand sanitizers available, tables socially distanced and restricted to six per 10-top. $30, 843.235.9600 or www.ClassAtPawleys.com. 10-11 AM - Archaeology at Brookgreen Gardens.

Her new book Through the Wardrobe: How C.S. Lewis Created Narnia was released in the midst of the pandemic; The Moveable Feast will be her first opportunity to share the story. This lyrical nonfiction picture book about the inspired life of C. S. Lewis is a great prequel to Patti Callahan Henry's Becoming Mrs. Lewis. As a child Lewis imagined heroic animals, knights in armor, a faraway land, but as he grew up, he found the real world was not as just as the one in his imagination. So he created a world of fauns and queens and a lion named Aslan. A world of battles between good and evil where people learned courage and love and forgiveness-the magical realm called Narnia, a kingdom that would change his life and that of children the world over. $30, 843.235.9600 or www.ClassAtPawleys.com.

Friday, Sept. 25 11 AM-1 PM - The Moveable Feast: Carole O'Neill ( The Truth Series) at Kimbel's, Wachesaw. The Truth Series follows television journalist Samantha Scott and her team as they try to solve cold case mysteries. O'Neill's former career as a television producer/director/writer allows her to navigate through the assignments from personal experiences. The first, Hidden Truth, takes place in the little village of Onset, near the bridge to Cape Cod. During the forties, people frequented the dance hall on Saturday nights to see Tommy Dorsey or Guy Lombardo. After a young girl from Boston spent the evening dancing, she left with a local and they found her body in a cranberry bog five days later in the next town. He was placed on trial, but without DNA evidence, was acquitted. When Samantha Scott buys a Victorian cottage in the village, she discovers evidence buried on her property and begins to work with cold case detectives. The second, Shameful Truth, takes place in Aberfan, Wales. In 1966 a coal mine slide destroyed a village and elementary school, killing 116 children. For thirty years after the 70-day tribunal concluded the party responsible, the facts were sequestered from Britain. This is the story of Gaynor Madgewick. She was eight years old when she became one of ten survivors. Her sister and brother were not among them. O'Neill interviewed her and her family, as well as many of the people in the village, for a documentary that aired in Boston. The third, Taylor's Truth, takes place along the Grand Strand, from Myrtle Beach to McClellanville. When nineteen-year-old Taylor Caldwell arrives in Myrtle Beach on spring break, she has no idea she won't be returning with her class. Taylor's Truth is based on the author's recent work with the South Carolina Task Force on Human Trafficking. $30, 843.235.9600 or www.ClassAtPawleys.com.
