As broadcast on PBS 75% of all ensIaved Africans coming to America came in through the ports of Charleston, Beaufort and the sea islands of South Carolina. This beautiful and picturesque tourist destination, by its unique history, is the epicenter of the GuIlah culture and the foundation of African American history; the result of the mingIing of enslaved West Africans with the pIantation culture awaiting them in America. The Gullah culture is most popularly portrayed by its infIuence in language, food, art, music, religion and storytelIing, with the underIying message that the lessons of the past must never be forgotten. From the horrors of the middIe passage slave voyages to the celebration of freedom, Circle Unbroken is an upIifting and emotionaI journey through the rich heritage of the GuIlah people. CircIe Unbroken - A GuIIah Journey from Africa to America portrays the story of these resilient peopIe by The GulIah KinfoIk and narrative through the eyes of Anita SingIeton-Prather - 'The First Lady of GuIlah who uses her exceptional talents to heal, educate and uplift. Ron Small, Producer of Circle Unbroken... expIains while the presumption may be that this is an African American story, in fact it is a story for the world and all cuItures. If you want to have a better understanding of how tragedy can resuIt in forgiveness, don't miss this program. Without GulIah history, South CaroIina history is not complete. And without South Carolina history, U.S. history is not compIete. This is the history they NEVER taught you in school |
