Clyburn to appear at Gullah-Geechee announcement

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn and National Park Serv-ice officials will introduce the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission on Monday in Charleston.

The U.S. Secretary of the Interior recently approved the members of the Commission.

Clyburn, a Columbia Democrat, authored legislation that became law in 2006 creating the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor that encompasses the coastal areas from Jacksonville, Fla. to Wilmington, N.C.

The purpose of this corridor is to preserve and protect the rich history and culture of the Gullah/Geechee people, according to a news release from Clyburn’s office.

Three cheers for this initiative on the East Coast's and the Nation's national treasure. It couldn't come any time sooner, as development of high price condos and houses are sucking up all of the area and creating a sterile environment devoid of any kind of history.
