In 2006 the U.S. Congress designated an area known as the Gullah Geechee corridor which runs from Wilmington, NC to Jacksonville, Fl. This corridor is considered “home to one of America’s most unique culture”.
Today the Horry County Gullah Geechee Heritage Festival is in its ninth year. We are proud present programs that pass the torch to future generations so that they know from where Gullah came. Our work is very important. That is why we host an annual festival, which features Gullah arts and culture. The festival has seen growth over the past years. We discuss who we are, where we are, and what we need to do. We celebrate the African American people. We invite anybody to come in to learn.
The Horry County Gullah Geechee Heritage committee has striven for the past nine years to recognize the cultural importance of this designation.Under the leadership of Ms. Sondra Ward, since 2007 this event has become an annual reunion and home coming for Gullah Geechee descendants. The addition of our film festival enhances our overall mission.
We serve all of Horry County and neighboring Georgetown County. This project is as much about pride for people of Gullah descent as it is about awareness for the community. To date we’ve had support from local businesses, Horry County Parks and Recreation, City of Myrtle Beach, Coastal Carolina University, Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce, North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce, Town of Atlantic Beach, the Little River Chamber of Commerce, and local churches.
