For a summary of the breadth and scope of the Gullah related materials that the BDC has and shares, read the May 22, 2013 Connections "Gullah Culture" entry. There are a host of materials in our holdings and links to online resources for you to explore this fascinating and enduring African-based contribution to American culture. We think that you'll be surprised by what you learn and experience.
Please remember that we're here to help you explore our deep and wide historical heritage!
