Students See American History Up Close and Personal


Third grade students at Round Top had a rare opportunity today to view three documents of great historical significance.  Staff members from the South Carolina Archives brought South Carolina's original 1776 Constitution, an original letter signed by George Washington (see picture below), and one of only 14 original, handwritten copies of the United States Bill of Rights (see picture above).  Following a presentation about the documents, Attorney General Alan Wilson spoke to the students about his journey to becoming our 51st Attorney General and the importance of leading and being a leader regardless of where you are in your own life.
