FYI: The Gullah people live in the coastal areas and off-shore Islands of South Carolina. Nothing to do with Cajun country.
Prominent people descended from Gullah ethnic group are Clarence Thomas, Michael Jordan, and Michelle Obama.
IIRC, the largest concentration of Gullah people in South Carolina is in, of all places, Hilton Head Island. We took a bus tour of the Gullah communities on the island and learned that the place normally thought to be the Gullah home in S.C., Daufuskie Island, has lost most of its indigenous population.
Hilton Head Island has a rich history going back centuries before it became a prime coastal resort.
The guide asked us to study a Gullah translation of Scripture called “De Nyew Testament”. It can be found online and is readable to speakers of standard English.
I stayed on one of those islands for a week in 1983. I was unaware that the stores were still segregated and went to the black store. “Otis, my man”. Yes, you did hear Gullah and yes, the islands were eroding then due to Global Climate Change.
One of my friends still lives on that island.
