Living History: Students Uncover An Ancestral Past

In this episode of Intersectionality in the American South, host Dr. Katie Acosta highlights reflections on the Gullah Geechee Immersive Field School taken by students from Georgia State University and the College of Charleston. Students share their thoughts and feelings about visiting historic sites like McLeod Plantation and Sullivan's Island, meeting Gullah Geechee elders, and learning about the harsh realities of slavery. The episode features insights from two students, Tiara Mbonisi and Zaree Ross, as they reflect on their family histories and the personal growth they experienced during the trip.
