This plot of land has been in my family since the 1860s when it was purchased by my ancestors after emancipation. The Hopswee plantation, where they were once enslaved still stands a mile away, now a wedding destination. The land presents unanswered questions about ownership, belonging, citizenship, and history. Its transformation from marsh to the mainline of American rice and wealth was predicated on the skilled labor and ingenuity of Africans, primarily from the rice coast of western Africa. The fields were abandoned after Emancipation when the formerly enslaved left for other trades. The land’s potential still exists. One day I will inherit this land. And I will inherit all of this history and presence that comes with it. –Jon-Sesrie Goff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615a7fd6eef54a7764f6b44d/1633534117561-SHO2KJ23PNHCY7NWKYJE/MadeleineHuntEhrlich.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615a7fd6eef54a7764f6b44d/1633534528924-CB1DU1ML21K7EA8C2FO5/Screen%2BShot%2B2021-10-06%2Bat%2B11.34.12%2BAM.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615a7fd6eef54a7764f6b44d/1633534630966-ZV2ZMKG0QU6TGTQEEI3K/Elijah%2BHeyward.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615a7fd6eef54a7764f6b44d/1633536724354-6O97GELUR1H3V69E9KK0/gettyimages-632636146-1024x1024.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615a7fd6eef54a7764f6b44d/1633709256130-49AN9PPNMR6ZIA28F8TC/Goff_headshot2.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615a7fd6eef54a7764f6b44d/1645455151606-9QWYFIWL5UJ7CANKLB6A/AS_HeadShot_BlairDoroshWalther_credit_JonSesrieGoff.jpg About https://www.aftersherman.com/madeleine-hunt-ehrlich daily 0.75 2021-10-06 https://www.aftersherman.com/lauren-waring-douglas daily 0.75 2021-10-06 https://www.aftersherman.com/jonsesrie-goff daily 0.75 2021-10-06 https://www.aftersherman.com/jonsesrie-goff-1 daily 0.75 2021-10-06 https://www.aftersherman.com/blair-mcclendon daily 0.75 2021-10-06 https://www.aftersherman.com/resources daily 0.75 2021-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615a7fd6eef54a7764f6b44d/1633964822403-50ZN6BCAG87K7T2YINFZ/ywbm1.jpeg Resources - Penn Center Since 1862, Penn Center National Historic Landmark District, located on St. Helena Island, South Carolina, has been at the epicenter of African American education, historic preservation, and social justice for tens of thousands of descendants of formerly enslaved West and Central Africans living in the Sea Islands, known as the Gullah Geechee people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615a7fd6eef54a7764f6b44d/1633964972074-V61WW2RC3T0GSGA1MHGD/GGNHA.jpg Resources - Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission The Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor is a National Heritage Area and it was established by the U.S. Congress to recognize the unique culture of the Gullah Geechee people who have traditionally resided in the coastal areas and the sea islands of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615a7fd6eef54a7764f6b44d/1633964890798-V1FMD5B20ZMIK9Q6WEI5/IMG_0135.jpg Resources - Gullah Museum (Georgetown) The late Vermelle "Bunny" Smith Rodrigues founded the Gullah Museum with her husband, Andrew Rodrigues, JD.
