*thoughts*: Hmm I wonder what it was like to live in real Geechee times?
What is the class is talking about today?Gullah a.k.a. Geechee
*Bennett and Malia then get swooshed into a place that is unfamiliar to Malia.*
Bennett (beaver): What a great question, Malia! Let me answer that for you. Come with me!
Malia: Wow that's awesome! I know one thing about them, I know that they did a lot of farming and fishing because of where they lived.
Bennett: The Gullah-Geechee culture North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, as well as the adjacent sea islands. Because of their historically isolated locations and strong sense of identity, the Gullah are said to have preserved more of their African cultural heritage than any other group of African Americans.
Malia: Bennett you are so smart, this is going to help me a lot on my test next week!
Bennett: The Gullah were very skilled in making sweetgrass baskets and some still do! When they would practice their religious beliefs they would meet in a "praise house". Most of their songs were up-beat hand clapping spiritual songs.
Bennett: Some of the Gullah/Geechee culture is still standing, but their are many challenges that come to keeping Gullah alive. Cornelia Bailey of Sapelo Islands and Georgia Sea Island Singers help keep the Gullah beliefs and culture going even through the challenges it faces.
Malia: Bennett you have been such a big help! I just know I'm going to Ace my test!
*Malia the gets swooshed back into her own reality without Bennett. *
Malia: Yay! Thank you!
