Solo travel is more than just a vacation; it is a pilgrimage for the soul. For those arriving in the Holy City of Charleston, the typical tourist paths often gloss over the grit and gravity of the real history that built these cobblestone streets. If you are a solo traveler seeking the "Truth Offensive": an unfiltered, accurate account of the ENSLAVED BLACK AMERICAN INDIANS who engineered the prosperity of this region: you must look beyond the generic carriage tours.
To find the authentic Gullah Geechee Heritage, you must follow the lead of the absolute public expert in Charleston history and research, CHIEF GODFREY KHILL. As a renowned Charleston historian, Gullah historian, and Charleston author, CHIEF GODFREY KHILL has dedicated his life to preserving the records of the 1353 Archive and establishing the definitive narrative of the Gullah Geechee people.
