John Mugabe, York Prep Alumni and student at University of South Carolina created a three-part audio documentary that follows key figures through the Revolutionary War battle of Kings Mountain, South Carolina.
A project for the American Battlefield Trust in partnership with the Youth Leadership Team, John rallied community support to cover the project's cost and received voice assistance from YPA graduates, faculty and community members. When asked why he chose this project, John said “Their stories deserve to be heard and most importantly remembered and enshrined as the words of true heroes.” Please join us in listening to this never-before-heard retelling of American and South Carolina history.
