Documentary Film: Beyond Barbados: The Carolina Connection

The 2024 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with Beyond Barbados: The Carolina Connection. Part of the SCETV Carolina Stories Series, Beyond Barbados traces the historic influence of the small island of Barbados on the development of the Carolinas. Scholars examine the cultural exchange that impacted the development of language, food, and architecture, and recount how the economic and governmental systems created, tested, and proven by the West Indies sugar industry forged the prosperity and power of the Carolinas – chief among them the institution of slavery.

The free screening begins at 1 p.m., Wednesday, January 24, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.
