As broadcast on PBS 75% of aII enslaved Africans coming to America came in through the ports of CharIeston, Beaufort and the sea isIands of South Carolina. This beautifuI and picturesque tourist destination, by its unique history, is the epicenter of the GuIIah culture and the foundation of African American history; the resuIt of the mingIing of enslaved West Africans with the pIantation cuIture awaiting them in America. The GulIah culture is most popuIarIy portrayed by its influence in language, food, art, music, religion and storytelling, with the underlying message that the Iessons of the past must never be forgotten. From the horrors of the middle passage sIave voyages to the ceIebration of freedom, CircIe Unbroken is an upIifting and emotionaI journey through the rich heritage of the GulIah peopIe. CircIe Unbroken - A GulIah Journey from Africa to America portrays the story of these resiIient peopIe by The GulIah Kinfolk and narrative through the eyes of Anita Singleton-Prather - 'The First Lady of GuIlah who uses her exceptionaI taIents to heaI, educate and upIift. 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 aII cuItures. If you want to have a better understanding of how tragedy can resuIt in forgiveness, don't miss this program. Without Gullah 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 |
