Our Past Sojourns
Gullah-Geechee Sojourn
What We Do
Experience the Gullah-Geechee Corridor, where African traditions have thrived for centuries along the southeastern coast. This sojourn celebrates the language, cuisine, and artistry of the Gullah-Geechee people — a testament to cultural endurance and ancestral pride rooted in freedom.
Africatown Sojourn
Explore Africatown, a community founded by the last Africans brought to America aboard the Clotilda in 1860. This sojourn uncovers their extraordinary story of survival, self-determination, and cultural preservation. Visitors walk through living history, where Africa’s spirit still echoes in Alabama’s soil.
African Burial Ground Sojourn
Journey to the African Burial Ground National Monument in Manhattan, a sacred resting place for free and enslaved Africans of early New York. This sojourn honors their resilience, legacy, and the untold stories that shaped America’s foundation. It’s a powerful reflection on remembrance and ancestral strength.
