This article series examines how local sports programs provide mentoring to youth that transcends athletics. The second article profiles a Charleston business owner mentoring a 15-year-old from New Jersey through a youth baseball program. It also previews the next article discussing how St. John's High School football player Johnny Burch has benefited from life lessons learned from his mentor. The series explores how coaching can fill the "father figure" void for many kids and help those left out through programs like Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities.

- 3. AN ORAL HISTORY OF SOUTH CAROLINA NEWSPAPERS Remembering Eyewitnesses to History CO-SPONSORED BY: School of Journalism and Mass Communications
- 4. THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT Our project’s goal is to capture video and audio interviews of some of South Carolina’s leading newspaper journalists from the last half century. We wish to ensure that the heritage of the state’s journalists and newspapers is preserved.
- 5. The Oral History is located on a website containing video and audio recordings, photos, links and biographic information. In addition to recalling stories from the past, such as the Orangeburg Massacre, we are also interviewing selected journalists who covered significant events to give their oral recollections and background information. AP Reporter, Jim Davenport’s interview page on the website.
- 7. Time is of the essence with this long-term, ongoing project. We must get interviews before key witnesses are gone. This is important for future generations of South Carolinians so we do not forget, and can broaden our perspective by looking at the past.
