Who are the Gullah Geechee people?

Hey everyone! Welcome back to our channel. Today, we're going to talk about a fascinating cultural group that you may not have heard of - the Gullah Geechee people. They are a unique African American community that has a rich history, culture, and language. Let's dive in!

The Gullah Geechee people are descendants of Africans who were enslaved on the rice, indigo and Sea Island cotton plantations of the lower Atlantic coast. The Gullahs are primarily differentiated from other descendants of enslaved Africans by their preservation of traditional West African practices and by their unique creole language, facilitated by their relative isolation. A further distinction is commonly made within this ethnic group in the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor between the Gullah, who are found in the South Carolina Low Country, and the Geechee, who reside in coastal Georgia and northeastern coastal Florida.
