Actor Roger Guenveur Smith, a grandson of Edward Leon Guenveur and Lauretta Goodall Guenveur, conducted a workshop at the Avery Research Center in 2011 when he was an artist-in-residence at the College of Charleston. In Smith’s weeklong workshop, "Performing History," student participants used archival materials to research and create a performance piece about a historical figure. Smith has portrayed Black history-makers in numerous theater, film, and TV productions, including multiple collaborations with Spike Lee. | Source: Roger Guenveur Smith at the College of Charleston: A Native Magazine Feature.
