Reflections On Gullah: The Legacy Of A Pastor On St. Helena Island S.C.

It is interesting to know that sometimes Gullah is called Geechee or Sea Island Creole. Having reviewed research conducted on the language of Gullah speakers, I focused on a St. Helena Island, South Carolina pastor. He became an exemplary leader, not only in the church but also in the community. I have provided an overview of his life and a presentation and analysis of one of his Sunday morning sermons. Many features of traditional Gullah are manifested in this inspirational sermon.
