Gullah/Geechee Soul of the South
The Morris Center for Lowcountry Heritage is hosting an outstanding exhibit entitled “Soul of the South.” This exhibition takes you on a journey through the music of the Lowcountry and provides background history on cultural heritage as well as musical artists. Although the museum is now open and small groups of people can visit with masks on while social distancing, the museum decided to take their programming to a global virtual audience via the “Virtually Speaking” series on their social media and their website. Queen Quet, Chieftess of the Gullah/Geechee Nation (www.QueenQuet.com) presented “De Gullah/Geechee Soul of de South” for this historic occasion. Hunnuh kin gwine ta Gullah/Geechee TV (GGTV) fa shum:
