Gullah Days: Hilton Head Islanders Before the Bridge

The Gullah culture, borne of isolation and slavery, thrived on the US East Coast sea islands from pre-Civil War times until today; nowhere more prominently than on Hilton Head Island, SC. Here, descendants of the first generations of Gullah people continue to preserve Gullah language, customs, arts, and cuisine. Emory S. Campbell, Thomas C. Barnwell Jr., and Carolyn Grant, authors of Gullah Days: Hilton Head Islanders Before the Bridge are among them, and have chronicled the amazing history of their secluded community from the Civil War through the 1950’s when real estate development connected Hilton Head Island to the mainland with a bridge. Emory and Carolyn will join us and give an overview of Hilton Head Island's Gullah History.
