Who are the Gullah People?
The Gullah people are descendants of formerly enslaved African Americans who lived and worked on the sea islands and low country of the southeastern United States. Isolated for hundreds of years, they retained many African words and customs. Their unique language and culture of arts, crafts, food, music, and religious customs enliven Lowcountry life to this day.
