Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor

Beaufort, SC
Slavery

Stretching 425 miles from Wilmington, North Carolina to St. Augustine, Florida, the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor preserves the culture and language of the Gullah Geechee people — descendants of Central and West Africans enslaved on the Sea Islands who maintained the most continuous and documented African cultural traditions in the United States.

Counter-Narrative

The myth this site refutes: that the African American struggle was isolated. It resonated from Paris to Lagos to Port-au-Prince.
