    Mr. Cummings you with your own resources created a most beautiful museum that comes the most close to trying to tell the history of pain and sacrifice in the most respectful, detailed touching way. Thank you sir. And the art is almost as breathtaking as the persons they are honoring..

    Ithink this is wonderful if only the white people will believe it. I a whit southerner and I was always told how happy the slaaves were. Then I read the interviews of exslaves by the wpa and I cried. It broke my heart.

    We now need to look into preserving the cultural history among the Gullah Geeche culture.
