George McDaniel to Speak at Clemson University

“Brick by Brick: Constructing America’s Identities”

Five-Week Speakers Series Kicks Off at Clemson

George McDaniel and his award-winning book, “Drayton Hall Stories: A Place and Its People” to be featured  on August 6th at 5:15pm

“Historic Properties is excited to sponsor this five-week book series with Annual Giving to bring these inspiring authors to campus, sparking future collaborations with our University partners,” said Mari Noorai, interim director of historic properties. “We selected this theme because Clemson’s historic properties have a role to play in telling the full and complete history of our communities. Our historic sites are learning laboratories for the University and beyond but also instrumental in telling America’s complex story.”    

Author George W. McDaniel, Ph.D., is the Executive Director Emeritus of Drayton Hall, a historic site in Charleston, SC, and the president of McDaniel Consulting, LLC, a strategy firm that helps organizations use history to build bridges within itself and to its broader constituents. His critically acclaimed book Drayton Hall Stories: A Place and Its People has garnered multiple prestigious awards.

McDaniel will be speaking at 5:15 p.m. at the Barnes Center, followed by a tour of Hanover House.
