Hugo Blue: An Anthology of Stories, Poems, and Illustrations

Hugo Blue, a collection of student writing and drawing, records what it means to experience a terrible hurricane. This anthology informs and reassures others who have to go through a similar disaster. Students who experienced Hurricane Hugo in September 1989, either by being in the path of the storm or by hearing and reading about its destruction, shared their experiences in vivid emotions and descriptions. This anthology was produced in collaboration with the Rural Education Alliance for Collaborative Humanities (REACH), a statewide community of educators who worked together to help make South Carolina schools rich with opportunities for all students to understand their own culture and the culture of others.
