Culture on the Vine: Gullah/Geechee Muscadine
In the Gullah/Geechee Nation, the continuation of cultural traditions on the land is still a major issue.

In Nesmith, which is on the western boundary of the Gullah/Geechee Nation in South Carolina, there are miles of acres of land lined out in cotton and soybeans. Suddenly down a long dirt road, you find a vineyard in the midst of it all.
