Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie, Part 4: Memory and Movement

Description

<p><strong>The conclusion of the Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie story</strong></p><p>Episode 7 explores the aftermath of the flooding of the Santee Basin – how families relocated, rebuilt, and carried memory forward across generations. Through conversations with <strong>Dr. Robert Hart</strong> and <strong>Dr. Kelsey Moore</strong>, we explore the migration, federal resettlement programs, church-community rebuilding efforts, and the archival silences that obscure Black lived experiences. From sharecropping and wartime job shifts, to the promise of land and the reality of displacement in the Lowcountry, this story invites listeners to remember what’s often submerged — in water and in memory.</p><p><strong>Featured Voices:</strong> Dr. Thomas Robert Hart, Dr. Kelsey Moore </p><p><strong>Created, Produced, and Hosted by:</strong> Lolita Rowe <strong>Original Music:</strong> Sister Sai <strong>Website: Tiffany Messer-Bass</strong></p><p><strong>Sound Engineering:</strong> Saira Raza</p><p>Music Credits – Sister Sai</p><p>“Wanderer”</p><p>“Cerulean Mood”</p><p>“Dandelion”</p><p>🎧 Sound Effects – Freesound.org (CC0 License)</p><p>Old Piano – Somber Chords.wav — DeVern</p><p>Hitting Nail into Wall with Hammer — Kate_is_yellow</p><p>Samsung Smartphone Hammering — designerschoice</p><p>Pond Water &amp; Ripples at Chappaquidick Bridge — Filmscore</p><p>Waves Gently Breaking on Lakeshore — leonelmail</p><p>Archival Audio – Library of Congress</p><p>John and Ruby Lomax 1939 Southern States Recording Trip (AFC 1939/001),</p><p>American Folklife Center, Library of Congress</p><p><strong>Call to Action: </strong>Follow the series and share your reflections using <strong>#MadeInCarolinaPodcast</strong></p><p>Support the show: ☕<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://buymeacoffee.com/madeincarolina"> buymeacoffee.com/madeincarolina</a></p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><p><strong>Archival Image Credit: </strong>Many families tore down their houses in the Santee–Cooper Basin to rebuild them outside the flooded area.
