Abstract

ABSTRACT This article focuses on a number of important events in the ongoing legacies of David (Dave) Drake, an African-American potter who lived and worked in Edgefield, South Carolina. Dave’s creativity was expressed in writing poetry and as a conceptual artist. His inspirations have been recognized by efforts today in advancing literacy and improving education. This study examines an array of interactive museum programs, educational initiatives, films, theater and dance productions, poetry readings, and publications for young and old readers alike that have conveyed Dave’s accomplishments to broad audiences and students. Archaeological engagements, scholarly publications, and Dave’s induction into the South Carolina Hall of Fame are also considered. His legacies are discussed in their historical contexts and in regard to their impacts on facets of our contemporary society and culture. From limited recognition decades ago to broad acclaim today, Edgefield alkaline-glazed stoneware is now seen as the genesis of an artisan tradition of Southern stoneware.

期刊介绍： Journal of African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage provides a focal point for peer-reviewed publications in interdisciplinary studies in archaeology, history, material culture, and heritage dynamics concerning African descendant populations and cultures across the globe. The Journal invites articles on broad topics, including the historical processes of culture, economics, gender, power, and racialization operating within and upon African descendant communities. We seek to engage scholarly, professional, and community perspectives on the social dynamics and historical legacies of African descendant cultures and communities worldwide. The Journal publishes research articles and essays that review developments in these interdisciplinary fields.
