Untold Journeys: Exploring Furman and Greenville's Connections with Asia
Description
Untold Journeys is a website built in ArcGIS StoryMaps that aims to advance the understanding of the contributions of Asian and Asian American individuals and their families at Furman University and in Greenville. Over a century ago, the first Asian student came to Furman through Southern Baptist missionary networks, and since then, many more members of the Asian community have shaped the cultures of the University and the Upstate. This project amplifies the stories of missionaries, students, professors, business people, and refugees who journeyed between South Carolina and Asia from the late nineteenth through the twentieth century. These individuals impacted the communities in which they lived and cultivated places of belonging.
