Editing Dark Corner Exhibit (section)

=== What’s in the name? ===

* Dean Campbell Memorial: this exhibit is dedicated to, and in honor of, Dean Campbell, who invested his life in capturing and preserving Dark Corner heritage. Initially, this exhibit will include a full panel about Dean’s life.
* Feuds and Fellowship: Dark Corner culture is reflected in a series of paradoxes. We chose these two words to represent them all: on one hand the conflict and violence for which the area is famous, and on the other hand the close-knit community with intense loyalty for one another. 
* Independence: John C. Campbell said the dominant trait of the region is “independence raised to the fourth power.” This characteristic fueled the area’s defiance of law and tax oversight, their opposition to various SC laws and movements, and their social isolation from surrounding communities. 
* Defiance: an outcome of fierce independence was defiance to authority. They viewed their opposition to liquor taxation, for example, in a very similar way to the American Revolution opposition to British taxation.
* Community: Dark Corner residents had a special, close community. They supported each other in substantial ways that formed deep bonds, from barn raisings, to corn shuckings, to harvesting another man’s crops if he was sick.
