My school bus used to drive by Backman’s Seafood on Sol Legare Island ❤

Have you ever thought about how black culture would hit WITHOUT hearing about our past. You do NOT hear any other race speaking on their horrific past ONLY colored folks

Im Gullah geechee on my mom side, from Sc.

I am so grateful to have found this video. I love learning about the Geechee culture

WEBE GULLAH GEECHEE WHERE CAN I FIND THE MUSIC IN THE BEGINNING? 🖤🖤🖤

Yuck you didn't know that the slave masters fed the gators black baby's that wasn't so long ago yuck !

Geechee people are mean I know i came out of one they are hell to deal with

Pure Gullah Love, all the way. I have to make my way there from Los Angeles and visit. True Dat

Very nice docu, loved it. ❤

Gullah has nothing...I mean totally nothing to do with Africa. It is all indigenous to the Americas. Stop giving Africa credit for our culture. Which is the oldest culture in the he world...yes, even older than Africa. Do your homework people, please 🙏🏿

I'm from Charleston and I heard of people who eat conch, but I never had it. The white people did the crayfish. I've had it before and it's good. I used to catch them in ditches and creeks when I was a youngin and keep them as pets until they died.

Love this! My family bloodline on my mother side is in Moncks Corner just outside of Charleston. Love hearing the stories of history from the elders there growing up....

Beautiful Story! Love you Sis!

Thank you for sharing, I really want to visit St Helena for my birthday and travel the surroundings area. Gullah Geechee is in my blood ❤️❤️❤️

What part or parts of Africa are the Gullah people from?

I love my roots. Both of my parents are from South Carolina. 💪🏾❤️

I know this is a very old video but hope it is still being monitored. I am wondering if Conch is like Abalone when it is cooked. Does anyone know? I know they are shaped differently and have different shells, but they are both “footed” creatures like a big snail. Seems they might have a similar taste and texture.

I really appreciate this video. TFS‼️🙏🏽

To my Gullah/Geechees... The name Gullah is in the Strong's Bible dictionary as a Hebrew name on the Hebrew section 1353 (Please look this up for yourselves) . Yah'll (we) are Hebrews. Our names were not mis-pronounced as Angola or Golas although some of our ancestors were from there. Geechees are the Yamasee or Yahmassee (Yah) (Yahweh) who were also Hebrews (Maroons, Guale, Yamacraw, Creek Aborigines) Cum-by-Yah, Ah-ha-Yah, We-Ben-Yah (We Son of Yah), Hallelu-Yah

How do you join the supper club?

One of the worst documentaries that I have seen. I stopped looking at the video when the basket weaving begin. Up until then it appeared most of the characters were drunk and could hardly speak without slurring the words. I would never video any other so-called documenteries such as this. MAY GOD HELP YOU!!!

Remember Joe's Fish Mkt in Savannah ga on west anderson @West Broad in the 70s?

I am interested in interviewing you for Strong Inspirations channel "Where black history lives"

I worked with a woman in Bronx, NYC who told me her accent/language was Geechee. I thought she was Jamaican 'cause the Jamaicans & her could communicate. I could not understand a word. She was from Charleston, SC. In the past, black churches separated "high yella" & darker blacks in Charleston. Learned this in an History of Ed course at CCNY. "Although the islands along the southeastern U.S. coast harbor the same collective of West Africans, the name Gullah has come to be the accepted name of the islanders in South Carolina, while Geechee refers to the islanders of Georgia."

We are GeeCee, from Florida to the Carolinas.🤲 check the blood line.

I ah Geechie boi too! Bone n raise! ChuckTown Souf KaKaalaK!

Lovely.

Oh my! I’m sooooo glad the comments aren’t turnedoff! I havnt even read one but other videos I watched had em turned off🤷‍♀️

I am so proud, as a child my Mom and Grandmother would talk about Geechee. They are from Sumpter SC. I love me some rice. Now I know why. Great educational video.

Whts the name of your theme music

Nice video I'm geechi and gullah myself and it's a pleasure to see our tradition on video

You wanted to say that gator was nasty 🤣

Amen! 🙏🏽 thank you for sharing! Their is no place like home!!! ❤️ sending Love&Prayers to all my brothers &sisters. Love from Canada 🇨🇦❤️🙏🏽🇨🇦

I wanted to share that slaves were not sold at the City Market. Ty

Everybody’s arguing rather Gullah Geechee people are from Africa or Jamaica. The man in the video talks about conch soup which is a Jamaican dish and the dialect sounds more Jamaican than it does African. Just my observation but idk either way it’s beautiful ❤️

Real Question- If the Geechee/Gullah people are the same Geechee/Gullah "indians" (natives) of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, with some as far as Texas, why are they now considered Africans? I definitely miss living there. Black people still own land and have their own businesses. No knock to them, but Mexicans took over most businesses here (Tx) and we're locked out of a lot positions for not being bilingual.

I can't wait to visit. Good documentary

You are awesome... loving your food network posts but what about your channel?

This channel looks "abandoned" but just had to say that I just saw her on a rerun of WW and as many cooks/chefs Ww had had, this lady sure stood out and she was very good! I especially enjoyed that Southern style in her personality :)!

Am in Africa East Africa Uganda Born in Southwest of The country all the hand crafts being made in this video my mom used to do when I was young it's amazing to see ur 💓💓💓💓💓 for sure African blood is in you

This was absolutely beautiful❗️

Beautiful how they were the only AA people to still have knowledge of their African culture, history, etc.....ionly know I'm of nigerian descent thru being Afro Cuban

I have roots on James island, grand mother and great grandmother,grimball Plantation WHALEY FAMILY

I'm from the coastal area of South Carolina,Geechee Gullah to the core,don't want to no more than that. All ways remember slaves arrived on the coast NOT the inland. When the people were(supposedly) freed a massive amount stayed,thus creating the Gullah society. The original bloodline is from those coastal areas.

Hope they still own the land because they was trying to run them off the land!!!!

Black people have to stop eating any kind of shellfish. God said they are scavengers. Their purpose is to keep consume the waste from waters. The only thing we’re supposed to eat from the water is fish with scales and fins. Nothing else. Definitely not to eat pork. God hates swine. God said these are unclean foods. We ate them because we didn’t have anything else. Our oppressors introduced us to this diet. This was not our diet in Africa that’s why we were healthier. It’s hard to get black people to stop eating these unclean foods.

A Soldier Story😎

My mother is from the Bahamas. Americans would always ask her if she was from NC because of her accent. It’s true, Bahamians and the Gullah ppl sound alike and customs are similar. The diaspora!! Wow thank you for posting.

Glad to hear about what is going on with other people in the south Carolina about other people and what is going on around this country thanks You Tube this histoey is a gift from God as Linda j peace God is love for all his children no matter who or what is going on God sees all
