There was a great movie several years ago called “Daughters of the Dust” that was about a Gullah colony off the coast of South Carolina by Julie Dash. A websearch on those things will yield more information and probably point you to other resources.

Good Afternoon,

        
I am a student at Towson University in Baltimore studying African-American literature.  I am  putting together a photojournal about African-Americans in the South, their languages,culture, clothing, food, and sharecropping life.  I'd like to get some feedback as to how and where I could interview and photograph people who spoke a language known as Gullah (I don't know that that the spelling is correct).  Can you offer some insight and point me in the right direction?

Please advise.

Thank you,
