Flyer for event Founding the ACC with Dr. Robert McCormickThe USC Upstate Library is proud to present its latest Faculty Research Series talk, featuring the work of Dr. Robert McCormick, Professor of History in the Department of History, Political Science, Philosophy, and American Studies at USC Upstate.

The talk will take place on Thursday, March 14, at 6 pm in Tukey Lecture Theatre. Tukey Theatre is located at 150 Gramling Drive on the USC Upstate campus in Spartanburg. The theatre is located on the ground floor of the USC Upstate Library building.

In commemoration of Constitution Day (held this year on Saturday, September 17), we have created a library guide featuring foundational documents in American history and government.

This guide provides links to key documents including the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the Federalist Papers, among many others. South Carolina Act 26 of 2021, better known as the REACH Act, requires undergraduate students to complete a three-credit course that involves reading these and other founding documents.

This guide also offers background information on the REACH Act, including related guidelines from the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education (CHE); resources documenting segregation, integration, the Civil Rights Movement, and other aspects of the African American Freedom Struggle; additional readings on Indigenous People's rights and justice; and a list of current USC Upstate courses that fulfill REACH Act requirements.
