Gullah/Geechee Ancestral Voices Speak to Protect St. Helena Island from Destructionment
For three years running, the Gullah/Geechee Sea Island Coalition, our attorneys from the South Carolina Environmental Law Center, the Coastal Conservation League, Penn Center and a cadre of additional partners have continued to stand up to Protect St. Helena Island. This year, two of our fighters that understood that we are warring against spiritual wickedness in high and low places crossed over in the realm of the ancestors. The first one that made his crossing was Rev. Kenneth Hodges of the “Gullah/Geechee Visitors Center” who pastored Tabernacle Baptist Church in Beaufort, SC where we unveiled the Harriet Tubman Monument.

Gullah/Geechee Queen’s Chronicle: Stay een de Field
I touched my ancestors hands as I touched the same field that they toiled in and fought for.
