Legends, whose lives and contribution mattered; and whose passion inspires future generations deserve to be honored; even after they are gone! Sharing stories & memories of legends in music, theater, fashion, media, beauty, creative arts and culture at Chase the Dream's EVENING OF CULTURES, and celebrating their accomplishment gives us great pleasure.

#BlackHistoryMonth !
The Gullah or Geechee are an extraordinary group of African-Americans who live in small farming & fishing communities on the sea islands of Georgia and South Carolina. Because of their geographic isolation, the Gullah have been able to retain more of their African heritage than any other African-Americans.
The late African American scholar, Professor Lorenzo Turner, a.k.a. the 'Father of Gullah Studies' (1890-1972), conducted an extensive research about the Gullah, who live in the U.S but speak their own language "Gullah language",which is a mix of local West African/Creole with some English words.
