My fiancé is of gullah heritage, as all her ppl from Beaufort SC and Charleston. I gotta ask her about any dances or such her kinfolk was doing back then.

Side note: when she get upset, her gullah accent comes out and I can’t even really understand her grandma at times :russ:. I love us (AA’s), man. Such rich culture and history.

Dap + Rep!

I’m a Carolina dude, but I spent a good bit of my life on the MS Gulf Coast. Black spring break on the beach used to be lit as fug. It would suck trying to get anywhere in Biloxi, though, and them white folks hate BSB.

BSB, Mardi Gras, etc. That party/dance culture is pretty much all along that I-10 corridor from NO to Mobile, AL.

Man, I took part in a second line once. Shyt was hella fun walking through the 3rd ward with my homie and his kinfolk and all his friends. New Orleans is a wonderful city

I always have said Nawlins and the Chuck have the richest most unique histories and culture for black folks. People need to go and pay homage before it’s diluted .
