Special Guest Reginald Hall Shares the Plight of the Saltwater Geechee Community in Sapelo Island, Georgia

Origin of Gullah Culture




Saltwater Geechee Sapelo Island, Georgia

Special Guest Reginald Hall Shares the Plight of the Saltwater Geechee Community in Sapelo Island, Georgia.   As some of you maybe aware Gullah relates to African-Americans who are descendents of original slaves that were dropped off in ports along the coast lines of South & North Carolina, Georgia, Sea Island, and Florida around Jacksonville.  This culture has managed to maintain the culture and language known as Geechee a dialect which incorporates original language infuses Jamaican Creole, Barbadian Dialect, Krio language of Sierra Leone in West Africa.

Reginald will share the plight of what’s occurring now, and how the lands of this awesome culture, is being taken from beneath their feet via “Eminent Domain” by the Governor of Georgia.  This shouldn’t be happening in America, land the legally belongs to and meant to be passed down from generation to generation, taken from behind their backs.

One might ask by what process is possible?  Eminent domain, what is it?  It’s basically gives the government the right to take possession of any real estate if a determined need is required for the governmental purposes.  For a more detailed definition please defer as an example to Wikipedia:    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminent_domain
