It’s poetic :: poetic justice, in literature, an outcome in which vice is punished and virtue rewarded, usually in a manner peculiarly or ironically appropriate.
History and legacy were honored and celebrated today here on Hilton Head Island. The Hilton Head Fishing Cooperative (the names of the members can be found in the last photo) saved our wetlands from pollution and ruin in April of 1970 by traveling along the coast headed to Washington D.C. in a 42ft shrimp trawler to collect signatures on a petition to protect the coastal waters from bio developers. 45,000 signatures and 25lbs of shrimp later, these gentlemen are the reason we are still able to eat from the land in which we call home and many call “paradise”. This beautiful mural by artist @amirifarris was also unveiled today, to honor the men, the occasion, the Gullah heritage and this beautiful island. Take a few seconds and read about the history of the cooperative in the last few pictures. I’m honored to stand alongside the last living founding member Mr. Thomas C Barnwell in photo 7.

Part two of my conversation with Adolphus Armstrong of the Lowcountry DNA Project is live! You can now listen to this episode and the rest of season two on the Curious Roots website. Go to the link in bio to listen now. The podcast is also on your favorite podcast app including @applepodcasts and @spotifypodcasts Adolphus and I return to the issues of land, removal, heirs property, and exploited labor as those topics relate to Harris Neck and beyond. We also talk about the book The Half Has Never Been Told : Slavery And The Making Of American Capitalism by Edward E. Baptist and how the patterns of enslavers trafficking stolen African people across the country are seared into the DNA of Black folks today. The image above of a seated, smiling woman with brown skin in a black dress and a lace white collar holding a pair of gloves in her hands, is my 3rd great grandmother Ethel “Effie” Proctor (neè Thorpe). . . . . #gullahgeechee #lowcountry #heirsproperty #dna #dnafamily #blackhistory #blackgenealogy #harrisneck

It’s National Historic Preservation Month, and ACHP staff members are sharing their favorite historic sites. Today, Rodney Parker Jr., Program Analyst and Bureau of Land Management Liaison, takes us to Georgia: "I wanted to share with you one of my favorite historical places, the Hogg Hummock (Hog Hammock) Historic District on Sapelo Island, Georgia. This enchanting locale is not only a place of serene beauty but also a location of profound cultural and historical significance as one of the few remaining Gullah/Geechee communities in the South that can directly trace its connection to West Africans roots. The district is an essential place for understanding the resilience and cultural retention of African traditions by its residents, evident in traditional practices, Gullah language spoken by its residents, and the cultural festivals that celebrate and educate others about this unique heritage. The community’s steadfast efforts to maintain their land and culture amidst the pressures of modern development and tourism stand as a testament to their steadfastness and pride. "Visiting Hogg Hummock is a journey back in time, where one can experience firsthand the simplicity and strength of community living, intimately tied to retaining cultural traditions. The picturesque landscapes, historic structures, and the warm, welcoming people make it a truly remarkable place that connects the past with the present." #achp #historicpreservation #historicpreservationmonth #preservationmonth #georgiahistory @georgiashpo @thegeorgiatrust @ga_historical_society #gullahgeechee
The Tabernacle Baptist Church in Beaufort, SC will reveal the Harriet Tubman sculpture on June 1st at 1:00PM. The statue, which has been in the works since 2016, commemorates the Combahee River Raid that freed over 700 enslaved people. The 300 soldiers that accompanied Tubman on June 1, 1863 were part of the 2nd South Carolina Volunteer Infrantry— a regiment made up of freed men from the Sea Islands. Events will take place between Friday May 31 through Sunday June 2.

"The search for the true identity of my 3rd great grandfather Charles McClellan alias John Martin of Company G in the 128th USCT Regiment of the Union Army (enlisted March 8, 1865 and discharged December 22, 1865), resulted in the discovery of his participation in a rebellion within the ranks of the Union Army during the Summer months of 1865. On June 4, 1865 Private John Martin partook in an organized act of rebellion when he “deserted” with gun and ammo along with several fellow USCT’s. Dr. Martin Robinson Delany, Major of the 104th U.S. Colored Troops was also present at Camp Stanton at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina and actively involved in activities related to the rebellion of soldiers and the ordinary Freedmen population of Beaufort and Orangeburg District’s at the time.

It’s day 2 of Black birders week and today is #blackbirderculture ! I’m sharing about birds that are significant in Gullah Geechee culture with this throwback video I did for timucuannps from last year! Gullah Geechee people have been able to thrive and preserve many West African traditions and practices throughout slavery. One way they’ve been able to do this is by interacting with the nature and wildlife that they have been forced to live with. There’s many animal folklore and stories with birds which allowed them to express feelings they endured during enslavement, death, and freedom. Now as I continue to explore and learn about the world of birds, I continue to learn about my heritage of Gullah Geechee and how my ancestors paved a way for me to be free as the birds. • • #blackbirdersweek #bbw23rollcall #blackinnature #blackexcellence #blackculture #blackhistory #sciencecommunication #birds #birders #birdsofflorida #gullahgeechee #gullah #lowcountry #blackboyjoy

This post is a reminder for you to visit the Gullah Museum in Georgetown, South Carolina! Most of the rice produced by South Carolina was grown in Georgetown County. As a matter of fact, by 1840 the Georgetown District produced nearly one-half of the total rice crop in the United States. Large amounts of enslaved Africans were in this area, where they were forced to work the fields. Therefore, Georgetown is a top location to witness Gullah culture today. --The Rice Museum is located in Georgetown, SC as well… To visit the Gullah Museum virtually, go to https://www.gullahmuseumsc.com #GullahGeechee #Gullah #Geechee Image: A sign reading Gullah Museum on a white brick building NPS Photo/B.

Penn Center Research Residency Day 3, part 2! We have to fight to save the descendants and culture of Sapelo.Island. The State and its leaders are working very hard at ousting and oppressing the natives. They are changing and making laws to drive these lawful landowners and descendants of slaves off their lands. A wonderful presentation by Mr. Maurice. We also dyed fabric in indigo. It was a day of beauty with a boat ride, learning about how the State of Georgia continues to oppress those of African descent (Sapelo.Island), and the beauty of African practices.in indigo. @ccpenncenter @mellonfoundation #savesapelo #savesapeloisland #indigo #penncenter #southcarolina #history #beaufort #gullahgeechee

Sweetgrass artist and historian @corey_alston_sweetgrassbasket is a fifth generation basket maker who gave us a chapter-and-verse introduction to Gullah Geechee culture. Although men originally created baskets, that changed when Africans were kidnapped and brought to America to be enslaved. Here, African men tamed the land, engineered it for crops our ancestors didn’t know how to grow, and gave much of the hard labor and skills it took to build this nation. Cities sold slaves. It was a revenue stream. Sweetgrass baskets became almost exclusively a female art form, so while men still learn the craft, Corey is one of the few. The basket he is working on here will take two months to make. His family’s booth is near the front of Charleston’s City Market. Go see him. He is a delight! #explorecharleston #gullahgeechee #africanamericanhistory #mtja #travelgram

We asked Allison about her favorite part of our trip to SC and she said, "Seaside Bar and Grill". We ate there twice. I had collard greens and baked sweet potato, grilled shrimp and fish. St. Helena's Island, SC. Here the Gullah descendants don't want golf or gates. #seasidebarandgrill #gullahgeechee

To catch first looks at this project, grab your ticket to the Gullah Gala Fashion & Music Experience, through the link in my bio!! ⚠️ • An incredibly powerful poem by @zania.art brought to life through the amazing artistic vision and creativity of the team’s director @chynna_chan and videographer @maroon_man beautifully reflects on our past and it’s influence on the state of the present. At this crucial moment in the world when progress is at risk, we must not stand idle. When we uplift our community, we uplift ourselves and honor the lineage that came before us. WHO BUILT THIS CITY?

Literally just finished this thrill ride story of #deenawood and have fallen hard for this character whose story is emotional, smart, dangerous and enlightening- #whatyouleavebehind is a huge, satisfying accomplishment from my pal @wandamowrites and NOW find out she has been voted into the @libraryreads Hall of Fame!!! So thrilled for this- can’t wait for everyone to get their hands on this!!! #halloffamer #gullahgeechee #newbrunswick
Saint Helena Parish Chapel of Ease Ruins- South Carolina The chapel was built in the mid-1700s and served the families who owned plantations on St. Helena Island. A trip to St. Helena Island is not complete without a stop at the Chapel of Ease. This charming small wayside location has a wealth of history, and the tale of the Chapel of Ease on St. Helena Island is, to put it mildly, captivating. #allthingsafricatravelcommunity #maximumimpacttravel #jaycameron #gullahgeechee
Aside from cultivating teas, I absolutely love tea tastings where people get to enjoy a fresh taste of something new that they haven't tried before. Watching their reactions and getting their feedback is golden. Because we small batch our tea blends and we harvest our ingredients locally and through foraging for the best ingredients the taste just doesn't compare to big box brands. Passage Products Goods & Services taking care of the body and the soul. #gullahgeechee #herbalmedicine #gullahhealing #GullahCulture
