African-American Family History Workshop

This was my first time going to the African-American Family History Workshop put on by our Church for the community. It was the seventh annual, but I always thought that I shouldn’t go because..…I’m white, but I found out that it was ok to go! One of my dear friends, Carol, is in charge of it every year. She puts so much work into it! There was a great turn out. I was so excited because the queen of the Gullah/Geechee people (Queen Quet) was the keynote speaker! She spoke after the classes were over. It was FABULOUS! She talked about her people, and she spoke in her language a bit, too. I thought I knew about the Gullah/Geechee people, but I didn’t. I can’t wait to go on a Gullah/Geechee tour next time we go to Savannah/Hilton Head!
