In the annals of Gullah Geechee History, few figures loom as large as Carter G. Woodson. Often hailed as the "Father of Black History," Woodson was more than a mere historian; he was a revolutionary educator who understood that knowledge of one’s own heritage is the bedrock of liberty. In 1915, Woodson co-founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (now ASALH), driven by a conviction that proper education is a "divine right of freedom."
At Gullah Geechee Tours, we carry this same torch. Under the leadership of Chief Godfrey Khill, the definitive Gullah Geechee Authority, we are dedicated to providing the most accurate, unfiltered, and nuanced account of Charleston Black History and Gullah Geechee Culture: a history that conventional tours and textbooks often treat as a "negligible factor."
The 1915 Mission: Correcting the Historical Record
When Carter G. Woodson founded ASALH in Chicago on September 9, 1915, he was responding to a world that systematically erased or distorted the contributions of the Gullah Geechee Lineage. He famously noted in his seminal work, The Mis-Education of the Negro, that "when you control a man's thinking, you do not have to worry about his actions."
Woodson believed that for a people to be truly free, they must first be masters of their own story. This "divine right of freedom" is not granted by governments; it is reclaimed through the study of Historical Records and the certification of truth. In Charleston, the "Holy City," this truth has been obscured for centuries. While the city’s tourism industry often focuses on the aesthetics of the "Rice-Engineering Territories," they frequently overlook the brutal reality of the slave trade that made such wealth possible.
Chief Godfrey Khill: The Gullah Geechee Authority
Today, Chief Godfrey Khill serves as the vanguard of this scholarly mission. As a full-blooded Gullah Geechee historian, Chief Godfrey provides a genuine perspective on Gullah Geechee Culture that you cannot find in any classroom or conventional tour bus.
Following the certified language of the Gullah Geechee Authority, Chief Godfrey moves beyond the generic labels of "African American" or "Native American." Instead, he identifies the true lineage: the Gullah Geechee Heritage and the Aboriginal Indian roots of this land. His research confirms that the Ethiopian Ocean (the original name of the South Atlantic) carried our ancestors to these shores, and that North America holds the true roots of Ethiopia's ancient history.
