Celebrate Gullah heritage with free Saturday programs
Wednesday, January 11, 2012
By THE MOULTRIE NEWS

Celebrate Gullah Heritage. The National Park Service, in partnership with the Town of Mount Pleasant, is sponsoring a series of free cultural programs at Charles Pinckney National Historic site every Saturday at 2 p.m. during February and March.

Gullah people made significant contributions not only to the Lowcountry plantation system but also to American culture in general.

These Gullah programs range from craft demonstrations such as quilting, cast-net making, wood-working and sweetgrass basket sewing to cooking, African drumming and story-telling, folk-tales, spirituals and other musical performances.

Feb 4 - Carolyn "Jabulile" White, Sea Island storyteller - Vera Manigault, sweetgrass baskets

Feb 11 - Anita Singleton-Prather, "Aunt Pearlie Sue" Gullah Tales - Vera Manigault, sweetgrass basket demonstration

Feb 18 - Sharon and Frank Murray, rice production - Elijah Ford, sweetgrass basket demonstration
