You are such a gracious and kind ambassador for your community. Thank you for such a lovely and heartfelt video! I grew up on Hilton Head in the 1960s when it was only 23 families on the whole island and 2 paved roads. I cant recognize it now. I havent been to your island since 1973 and it was just the little village and homes scattered in the woods. Im hoping to come visit you in the next couple of weeks. I now live in Summerville north of Charleston. I so hope i get a chance to meet you in person, neighbor!

I love this! All Americans should learn about this. It is part of the quilt that makes up America and adds a depth and richness to the fabric of our country. I love her positive attitude. Although a lot of what the Gullah built up or created was built and created in spite of adversity. They not only survived the hard times but maintained a strong spiritual life and thrived through folk songs and hymns and family bonds. There is a sense of place, of community and a spiritual life. I hope this project continues so that we don't forget what makes this culture special.

❤❤ Thank uou for the Stories. You are full of History. Unlike Me I have nothing from my Ancestors past. I know my mother's Mother Dorothy was from S.C. Gullah Geechee, she loved her lima beans, and okra dishes😂❤ Altho all my Peeps are gone I miss them dearly and some if their stories & memories, of earlier survival.😢

This brought back some wonderful memories for me. I spent 3 months on Daufuskie in 1970 as part of a program from UC Santa Cruz. I remember the beauty of the island, Sarah Grant, the school, the boat ride, the church, the graveyard, Sallie Ann when she was a little girl, and many more warm, welcoming, people. I’m glad to see this important history is being preserved.

Wow, I use to walk the roads of the island when I was small, going to the island on captain Sam's boat ride was as exciting experience, from river street to the island, once arrived there would be inhabitants of the island greeting you selling products, those devil crabs were delicious, so much history there, you gave an excellent interview, hope to see you soon sister.

I have been attracted to following your Gullah/Geechee land protection work. Now, I know why I have always been interested. My grandfather through oral history informed me that his mother(my great grandmother) was Geechee and Native American. She was paying taxes on the land on Daufuskie Island off of South Carolina; however, the white locals stole her land. When other family members tried to investigate with a lawyer decades later, the white locals threaten to kill the lawyer and family member. So, they left town and stopped their pursuit. That land was sold and made into a golf course. I wanted to know if someone could help with any of the following:(1)help with researching my great grandmother, publicizing the story, or even helping to get the land back?
