    I agree with the gentleman who said the island was their birthright. Their ancestors died in the fields there; the land should rightfully be theirs, without fear of getting “taxed out” of their properties.

    Gives me chills to see that ocean and listen to her speak of how the slaves ships sat out in the water and they would unload our ancestors onto smaller flat bottomed boats. It makes it more real to me. Heartbreaking but it is our history. We are the ancestors of the strong survivors of chattel slavery and I'm proud of my people. Hurt and angry that this happened to them, but proud nonetheless.

    To my Gullah/Geechees... The name Gullah is in the Strong's Bible dictionary as a Hebrew name on the Hebrew section 1353 (Please look this up for yourselves)
    . Yah'll (we) are Hebrews. Our names were not mis-pronounced as Angola or Golas although some of our ancestors were from there. Geechees are the Yamasee or Yahmassee (Yah) (Yahweh) who were also Hebrews (Maroons, Guale, Yamacraw, Creek Aborigines) Cum-by-Yah, Ah-ha-Yah, We-Ben-Yah (We Son of Yah), Hallelu-Yah

    Searching for a genuine background for their Porgy & Bess in 1934, the Gershwin brothers spent 2 wks on a small island, 10 mi. From Charleston: for the rhythm & music of the simple Gullah peasants there. “Their complicated pattern of a rhythm beaten out by feet and hands-their “shout”, a source of pride. I’ll never forget a night when George joined in, and to their huge delight, stole the show from their champion “shouter”. I think he was the only white man who could have done it.” DuBois Heyward (fr. Kimball & Simon.The Gershwins (1973), p 174. (Thank you for letting me see this, for myself.)

    Gullah Roots - The Documentary
    In December 2019, a group of Gullahs (The Gullah are African Americans who live in the Lowcountry region of the U.S. states of Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina, in both the coastal plain and the Sea Islands) linked up with some Sierra Leoneans for an unprecedented historical study tour. Some of the activities mixed in with interviews by participants and relevant others are documented in the film.

    I love their culture but they need to make sure they don’t tell every child that our ancestors was from Africa or slaves. Only about 10-15% of melanated people were brung from Africa to America. That wight man story dat we was all in Africa is a lie. We were always here and it’s so much proof we been here. Our land got took from us. The original people (so call black people) indigenous to the whole world. The word slave comes from da word slavic which were white slaves. Black people had white slaves (slavs) in America way before Christopher Columbus. Check out books like the sultan of America - the Moroccan treaties with various European crowns. My ancestors are Cherokee and creek.
