Why This Trip Matters
The Gullah Geechee people are one of the most culturally preserved African diasporic communities in the U.S. Their language, foodways, spirituality, and traditions trace directly back to West Africa, a living connection to our ancestors. Pairing this with the African American Museum creates a full-circle Black history experience:
where we come from, what we’ve built, and the legacy we continue today.

Signing up on Eventbrite will pre-register you for the trip.
