Florida's soul carries rhythms of a people history tried to erase: The Gullah Geechee

They are descendants of Africans who survived the Middle Passage and refused to let go. Language. Food. Music. Spiritual practices. Stories passed down like sacred fire from West Africa to the Carolina-Georgia-Florida coast.

In Florida, from Jacksonville to the St. Johns River, Gullah Geechee hands shaped everything: rice fields that fed the South, basket weaving that became art, call-and-response songs that became the foundation of Black church music.

Their influence runs through Florida's veins—in the okra and rice dishes, in the rhythms of worship, in family names that echo across centuries. Yet textbooks treat them like ghosts, erasing their massive cultural contributions.

But you can't silence culture. Listen closely: every family gathering, every church song, every plate of hoppin' john carries Gullah Geechee DNA.

They didn't just survive slavery, they preserved Africa in America, keeping ancestral wisdom alive against impossible odds.

Watch to discover Florida's hidden cultural foundation. Follow to keep these roots alive, because culture IS resistance.
