( ) A group of performers is traveling across the U.S. singing church songs first sung by the Gullah Geechee people — a group of enslaved Africans who worked the cotton and rice plantations of the South Carolina Sea Islands. They sing in the old Gullah Creole language that is rooted in West Africa. A recent performance took place at Coffin Point Praise House. It’s one of three remaining wooden structures on St. Helena Island that once served as a place of worship for the enslaved, and later, for generations of free black Americans. The singers are all in their 70s and 80s and learned the songs from their parents and grandparents.
