Every Geechee should be aware...

Please read the above link.  It's a devastating truth.  How blessed we are that with the World Wide Web and other technology we have been able to keep our heritage/culture alive, but I feel like the Gullah nation is on life support.  Thank God for soldiers like Queen Quet and a few others that has put in their all to preserve our history.  Young Gullah Nation STAND UP!!!!!
