“Connecting Stories to Our Cultural past”
I have often been asked about my Gullah Geechee culture by those who tell me they are trying to find themselves. My answer to such a query is to focus on your own culture and discover how your origin contributes to the present. We are still connected to our cultural and ethnic past through family stories and personal experience. Before the link is lost forever, there is still time to document how we have become the people we are, the culture we link to and what we will make certain not to lose. I would like to talk about why our individual histories are important, why we need to break through myths, and look back through history as told by those who control how history is written. You can become the link between your past that connects a legacy of stories for future generations.
