Are you talking about how they are stealing land off these gullah geechee people?

[@octaviahicks-braye9859]

Wow! Great work 👍. What a beautiful way to commemorate the enslaved and manumitted in South Carolina and abroad. Charleston, South Carolina is one of the most inspiring places in America. Full of and rich in American history. Low country black families have had the ability to pass down land and housing for over 200 years. Some families have been in the region over 400 years, including days of slavery. Descendants of American slaves from Maryland to the Mississippi Delta have experienced humble lives living and working off the water. Excited about planning a family trip in 2024. Black history is inspiring. Preservation of American history is a great education tool. Great 👍 work South Carolina.

If we are going to open African American museums, let's do the same for every nationality. Everyone deserves to be celebrated.

[@DjSegwon]

She said that every great community deserves there own, just say you hate black people 😂

[@mariejane1567]

even the people who enslaved them?

[@mariejane1567]

this is american nationality you sound ridiculous.....

[@catbishop206]

@mariejane1567 no, we definitely don't need a confederate museum. You are very right about that. That's why I chose to use the term nationality.

[@traycee2404]

Not everyone was enslaved in America
