Veterans' exhibition comes to campus
The installation displays approximately 50 pairs of boots, representing South Carolina veterans killed in the Iraq War. The exhibit will be located on the University's Prince Lawn, near the entrance of the Thomas W. and Robin W. Edwards College of Humanities and Fine Arts building. Biographical information on each deceased veteran accompanies each pair of boots. Hours of the exhibition are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.
Since "Eyes Wide Open" embarked on its national tour in June 2007, the exhibit has been shown in 44 states. The purpose of the installation is to recognize the human cost of war and to remember the sacrifices of our veterans.
The exhibit is sponsored by the University's Department of Politics and Geography, the Department of History, the Globalist Club, the Rebecca Randall Bryan Art Gallery and Five Rivers Friends (Quaker) Meeting of Conway.
