Daufuskie Island Oyster House Daufuskie Realty
The Oyster house was built in the 1880's and was purchased for a dollar and moved to its current location on Hinson White Drive in 1921. In the early 1900's the oyster workers organized themselves into benevolent societies that helped their fellow workers in times of need. Such things as death in the family or falling on hard times. Originally just for men, in 1919 The Oyster Union Society took over for both men and women. The women meet downstairs and did activities such as quilting while the men meet upstairs. To join the society men had to walk across rubber nails and be scared by dummies jumping out of coffins. All were in good fun
In 1950, the societies where closed along with the oyster beds and the building was bought and saved by the Daufuskie Island Historical Foundation in 2002. Today it is preserved for future generation to use and visit.

Hilton Head Island, South Carolina - Harbour Town HD (2017)
Hilton Head Island, sometimes referred to as simply Hilton Head, is a Lowcountry resort town and barrier island in Beaufort County, South Carolina, United States. It is 20 miles (32 km) northeast of Savannah, Georgia, and 95 miles (153 km) southwest of Charleston. The island is named after Captain William Hilton, who in 1663 identified a headland near the entrance to Port Royal Sound, which he named Hilton's Head after himself. The island features 12 miles (19 km) of beachfront on the Atlantic Ocean and is a popular vacation destination. In 2004, an estimated 2.25 million visitors pumped more than $1.5 billion into the local economy. The year-round population was 37,099 at the 2010 census, although during the peak of summer vacation season the population can swell to 150,000. Over the past decade, the island's population growth rate was 32%. Hilton Head Island is a primary city within the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton-Beaufort metropolitan area, which had an estimated population of 207,413 in 2015.
The island has a rich history that started with seasonal occupation by Native Americans thousands of years ago, and continued with European exploration and the Sea Island Cotton trade. It became an important base of operations for the Union blockade of the Southern ports during the Civil War. Once the island fell to Union troops, hundreds of ex-slaves flocked to Hilton Head, which is still home to many native islanders, many of whom are descendants of freed slaves known as the Gullah (or Geechee) who have managed to hold on to much of their ethnic and cultural identity.
The Town of Hilton Head Island incorporated as a municipality in 1983 and is well known for its eco-friendly development. The town's Natural Resources Division enforces the Land Management Ordinance which minimizes the impact of development and governs the style of buildings and how they are situated amongst existing trees. As a result, Hilton Head Island enjoys an unusual amount of tree cover relative to the amount of development. Approximately 70% of the island, including most of the tourist areas, is located inside gated communities. However, the town maintains several public beach access points, including one for the exclusive use of town residents, who have approved several multimillion-dollar land-buying bond referendums to control commercial growth.
Hilton Head Island offers an unusual number of cultural opportunities for a community its size, including plays at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina, the 120-member full chorus of the Hilton Head Choral Society, the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra, an annual outdoor, tented wine tasting event on the east coast, and several other annual community festivals. It also hosts the Heritage Golf Classic, a PGA Tour tournament played on the Harbour Town Golf Links in Sea Pines Resort.
Lecture on Daufuskie Island featuring Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe (Audio)
Recorded June 2, 2016. Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe is a photographer known for her images containing strong narrative and documentary elements. Images from her book Daufuskie Island are the subject of the CMA's latest exhibition, Daufuskie Memories.
Through a series of over 60 photographs taken from 1977–1982, Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe vividly and poignantly captured African-American life on Daufuskie Island, South Carolina. In that time, Daufuskie Island stood alone as the last South Carolina sea island untouched by the outside world, serving as a home to residents whose Gullah lifestyle, traditions, and language were preserved because of their isolation. Recognizing this unique culture and the need to capture this way of life, Moutoussamy-Ashe used her camera to chronicle the life of the island.

Historical Ties
History, Culture, And Health
With the mind-body connection, healthy is 80% cultural and 20% physical. AAW examines aspects of history that have had physical and psychological affects on the culture of Africans on the continent and in the diaspora. The slave trade is one of those historical aspects that presented challenges to African people worldwide in maintaining mental health. The psychological effects of the slave trade, colonialism, racism, are still factors in current racial disparities in health care.
AAW takes a look at the history of Bunce Island and its significance in the transatlantic slave trade between Sierra Leone, West Africa and South Carolina in the United States. With this video, AAW highlights the ancestral connection between the Gullah people of South Carolina and Africans transported from Bunce Island. Bunce Island is located 20 miles off the coast of Freetown, Sierra Leone's capital city. In this video, Tour Guide Alieya Kargbo introduces the history and the relevance of Bunce Island.

Carolina Gold
Episode from the public television series, Notes from the Field.
Carolina Gold:
Prior to the American Civil War, rice production formed the economy and culture of the South Carolina Lowcountry. The plantation system – leading up to, during, and after its existence – profoundly affected cypress swamps, tidal flows, waterfowl migration – and human culture.

She is, after all, a creative type who craves that visual expression and inspiration from the people around her. It was only after she and her husband moved to South Carolina’s coast on Daufuskie Island that she found her second career as a handbag and accessory designer.

A Vanishing History: Gullah Geechee Nation
On the Sea Islands along the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia, a painful chapter of American history is playing out again. These islands are home to the Gullah or Geechee people, the descendants of enslaved Africans who were brought to work at the plantations that once ran down the southern Atlantic coast. After the Civil War, many former slaves on the Sea Islands bought portions of the land where their descendants have lived and farmed for generations. That property, much of it undeveloped waterfront land, is now some of the most expensive real estate in the country.
But the Gullah are now discovering that land ownership on the Sea Islands isn’t quite what it seemed. Local landowners are struggling to hold on to their ancestral land as resort developers with deep pockets exploit obscure legal loopholes to force the property into court-mandated auctions. These tactics have successfully fueled a tourism boom that now attracts more than 2 million visitors a year. Gullah communities have all but disappeared, replaced by upscale resorts and opulent gated developments that new locals — golfers, tourists, and mostly white retirees — fondly call “plantations.”
Faced with an epic case of déjà vu, the Gullah are scrambling for solutions as their livelihood and culture vanish, one waterfront mansion at a time.

Mecklenburg County Rosenwald Schools
From the 1910s into the early 1930s, more that 5300 school buildings were constructed in African American communities throughout 15 southern states.
Seed money came from Chicago philanthropist Julius Rosenwald, CEO of Sears, Roebuck & Company. Black communities put up cash, and local school boards agreed to operate the facilities.
This video further examines the importance of these schools and the school structures themselves.
St. Helena Island, SC. A Better Place.
St. Helena Island is a magical place on the South Carolina coastline where African American men and women have farmed this land and fished this water for centuries--first as plantation slaves, then as freedmen. It's now one of the last communities on the East Coast that hasn't been swallowed up by development and tourism. But St. Helena's way of life is at a crossroads. Watch and see how farmers and fishermen have adapted to the modern world and whether they would be able to pass this rich heritage to the next generation.

Coffin Point Road(Avenue of Oaks). One Half Mile Long. Leading to the Coffin Point Plantation
Coffin Point Plantation, is a historic plantation home located in the Frogmore area of Beaufort County, South Carolina, USA, was once a prosperous Sea Island plantation. It is estimated that the home was built around 1801, and like many early 19th century homes in the area, features a tabby foundation. One of the homes more striking features is the one-half mile avenue of oaks that leads to the home. The first resident of the home, Ebenezer Coffin, was born in Boston in 1763, eventually moved to South Carolina and then settled at Coffin Point.
Coffin's son Thomas Astor Coffin was in charge of the plantation until Union occupation of St. Helena in 1861. Prior to the Civil War Coffin Point was a well-known cotton plantation on the Carolina coast, having a reputation of being well managed and prosperous.
• 1861 – The Coffins were among the sea island plantation families who fled in advance of Union troops, abandoning all their Beaufort County holdings
• 1862 – Cotton planting at Coffin Point Plantation became part of the Port Royal Experiment, a program of the United States government designed to train and educate the newly released slaves on the sea islands. Within a short period of time, this plan was terminated
In the early 1890s U.S. Senator James Donald Cameron, a Republican from Pennsylvania and Secretary of War during the Grant administration, bought Coffin Point. Listed in the National Register August 28, 1975.

Matt Towery, Reflections on Georgia Politics
ROGP 089. Matt Towery interviewed by Bob Short, October 16, 2009.
Matthew Towery was an unofficial page for Governor Lester Maddox, and continued in an official capacity during Maddox's term as lieutenant governor. He became a speech writer in Mattingly's successful run for senate in 1980. In 1989 with the encouragement of Newt Gingrich, Towery started the Campaign for Georgia's Future, and the next year ran an unsuccessful campaign for lieutenant governor. In 1992, he served as Gingrich's campaign chairman for his successful race for the U.S. House of Representatives. Towery won a seat in the Georgia House of Representatives, making him the first Republican to preside over the Democratic House. In this interview, Towery comments on his experience working on several political campaigns, his own experience in legislature, and on party politics in Georgia.
