The Gullah-Geechee Community Is Fighting To Keep Its Culture and Heritage Alive

'Descendants of enslaved Africans who live on Sapelo Island, off the coast of Georgia, say their community is being driven off by state and county entities and increasing property taxes.  The Takeaway spoke with Reginald Hall, CEO of Raccoon Hog Community Development Corporation and a descendant living on the island. Hall was not born on the island, but grew up visiting his grandmother. He was living in the Midwest in 2007 when his family called him back to his ancestral home to help his community and take an assessment of their survival.'
