The 2025 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with
Discovering Dave, Spirit Captured in Clay. Directed and produced by George
Wingard and Mark Albertin and released through the Savannah River

was one of the first African American slaves to sign many of his works, which
included jars and pitchers. In addition to producing thousands of pieces of
pottery, David also wrote poetry.
