We're
exploring the role textile mills have played in South Carolina's
past. Walter chats with Betsy Wakefield Teter, editor of the book Textile
Town , by the Hub City Writer’s Project. It details Spartanburg
County's textile history, which parallels the stories of so many
other mills in our state.
Then he talks with Frank Beacham, who
uncovered his family’s involvement in a violent uprising in the
textile town of Honea Path. He included the story in his book Whitewash: A Southern
Journey through Music, Mayhem and Murder.
Then our friend
Gene Owens, of the Mobile
Register, will share with us a column he wrote about mill-team
baseball in the South.
The show wraps up with a tune called They
Closed Down the Mill. It’s performed by the songwriter Matt
Ranck with the DAM Combo.

It’s
estimated that 6 million Jews died in Europe between 1939 and 1945.
Today we're honoring those victims and the survivors of the
Holocaust. Walter talks with Virginia Friedman and John Reynolds

presents the first-person accounts of three Jews who survived the
Holocaust and now live in Charleston. Then Pulitzer Prize winning
author Richard Rhodes discusses his book "Masters of Death: The
SS-Einsatzgruppen and the Invention of the Holocaust", which
