A visit by a unique group of African Americans to Africa

Our Gullah-Geechee guests on this tour had a rare opportunity to experience Africa in a deep way on a histroical study tour of history and culture. Thy saw three aspects of slavery, resistance and abolition. The British slave castle at Bunce Island, Sierra Leone is responsible for sending thousands of African captives to South Carolina and Georgia. Some of the most fascinating illustrations that show connections between African Americans and Africans can be found in some of the family ties between Gullah-Geechees and Sierra Leoneans.
