📍This is the first part of exploring the Gullah Geechee communities’ descendants of enslaved African people who preserved a remarkable fusion of identity rooted in the West African experience.

Scholars continue to debate the nuances of this heritage, but their language beautifully blends K-Creole, Krio, and English into a distinct linguistic tradition. #GullahGeecheeHistor
