How Many Rivers Do We Have To Cross?





The Slave Relic Historical Museum is dedicated to documenting, preserving, interpreting, and celebrating the history and culture of peoples of African descent. Though victimized, exploited and oppressed, enslaved Africans in the Americas were active, creative agents in the making of their own history, culture, and political future. The Slave Relic Museum exhibits actual artifacts that were made and used by enslaved Africans from 1750 to the mid 1800′s.

The Horrors of American Slavery


Slave Relics 



Did you see how horrible slavery was? Didn't you know it would have continued if not for the bravery and sacrifice of the Gullah Gee Chee people? The U.S government didn't free you, the Gullah fought and defeated general Andrew Jackson who tried to stop the uprising ignited by the Gullahs.  Other Black Nationalists and Pan Africans talk tough but besides the Haitians, The Gullahs are the only group of Africans in the West to wage full scale guerrilla war with the European armies. Many Southern Whites and nations around the world respect them because the Gullahs were true freedom fighters. The Gullah are also expert craftsmen, artisans, farmers, ship builders and sailors, and entrepreneurs.
