The Center for Heirs' Property Preservation presents: The Gullah Geechee Preservation Project

This video profiles and documents the nine grant winners with the Gullah Geechee Preservation Project funded by the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. Special thanks to State Senator Marlon Kimpson. This program debuted at the 5th Annual SC Rural and Limited Resources Landowner Symposium on Saturday morning, August 29th.
Charleston County has experienced unprecedented growth over the past few decades. As more people move to Charleston County, the need for new development threatens existing cultural resources. The purpose of this special video production is to document how gentrification and development has eradicated the history and culture. It will also demonstrate the unique character in these Gullah Communities, specifically buildings, cemeteries and communal land ownership. You will experience nine different grant projects awarded with impactful video stories explaining each individual project. Learn about the projects they are working on and how they are preserving them for the future.

Thank you for this video. It helped me to understand how my father lost ( stolen by real estate predators) 10 acres in Hawai’i. It was horrible and cause his death by heart attack ( broken ). He was living on it and wanted to be happy
