Black Identity and Black History: The Gullah/Geechee Legacy
Our ancestors often held candlelight vigils and I led some in my youth as well. I am inspired to light a candle every day for the rest of this month as I pray that our Black families as a whole will catch on fire with wanting to stand up pridefully and in their identity as people that descend from those whose strength is the very reason that the Black race has survived and continues to strive. We have a right to celebrate that identity not only in February but every day of the year! I chose to continue to share Black history in order to help others in their search for truth and identity because by doing so I honor my ancestors and continue the Gullah/Geechee legacy.
