George Orwell reportedly said, “In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
As we approach the 250th anniversary of America’s founding by revolutionaries, we need more truth, not less. Our school is dedicated to doing just that.
The Modjeska Simkins School is in its 11th year of teaching a people’s history of South Carolina and practical skills for effective citizenship to students of all ages and backgrounds. Orientation for the spring session is Feb. 28, with hybrid classes meeting Monday nights between March 2 and June 22.
This year, students have more options than ever. They can attend on Zoom in the comfort of their own home, in-person at the SC Progressive Network’s building in Columbia, or at one of five satellite sites, where they will participate with a group via live satellite broadcast.
We understand that this intensive master class is a commitment that not everyone can make. If you can’t attend but want to ensure that the school continues to provide this unique experience to students across the Palmetto State, here are three ways you can help.
- Print out the flyer to post at work, in your favorite coffee shop, your place of worship, or anywhere people congregate.
- Find us on Facebook and Instagram, and help us widen our social media reach.
- Make a tax-deductible donation to help us provide stipends for guest teachers and scholarship assistance for students. You can do so online or you can mail a check to: Modjeska Simkins School, PO Box 8325, Columbia SC, 29202.
Thank you for your commitment to teaching truth in perilous times. Your support truly makes a difference.
