The Gullah people are a Black community primarily found in the Sea Islands and coastal regions of South Carolina and Georgia. They are descendants of enslaved Africans brought to America, preserving rich cultural traditions, language, and crafts rooted in West African heritage. The Gullah language, a creole blending English and African languages, reflects their unique history. Known for their strong community bonds, distinctive art, music, and culinary traditions, the Gullah people have maintained aspects of their ancestral culture while adapting to modern influences. Their cultural legacy offers valuable insights into African-American history and resilience.
