The Governor (1974) | Sandlapper's Corner

Kaltura

In this episode of Sandlapper's Corner, we find that after having been elected to office by the State of South Carolina, a twelve-year-old girl, Joanna Price, assumes the role of the governor of the state. 

We follow her as she is chauffeured to work in a limousine with a motorcycle escort. When she embarks, Governor Price strides up the steps of the State House and meets with her staff, and conducts a press conference before heading off to a luncheon. The moderator asks, "Can a twelve-year-old become governor?" Stay tuned for part two of the saga.

Sandlapper’s Corner was a children's educational program that began airing on SCETV in the 1970s. Produced by Dr. Sandra G. Thomas, the show was about South Carolina—its people and places, its present and past.
