- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 15 Jan, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Thu, 15 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: HSF is delighted to welcome Sallie Ann Robinson as the January speaker for our lecture series, “The People, Stories, and Places that define Savannah.” Ms. Robinson will be presenting “Daufuskie Island: Preserving a Family Home & Protecting a Gullah Geechee Legacy” on Thursday, January 15 at 6:00 pm. 

Daufuskie Island, located off the coast of South Carolina and only reachable by boat, has a rich Gullah Geechee history. Once home to a thriving Gullah community, today, few Gullah residents remain living on the island. Ms. Robinson is a sixth-generation Gullah native, who, upon returning to the island, realized the importance of restoring the ancestral home in which she was born and sharing the history of the community, which she also does daily via tours and culinary history programs.

The house, which sits off-the-beaten track on Daufuskie, was home to generations of her family. By preserving it, she intends to honor the home’s important stories, as well as share them with future generations. The home stands as a testament to the history of historically Black communities in the Lowcountry, and why it is important to protect this Gullah Geechee legacy.

This lecture will take place at the Murray C. Perlman and Wayne C. Spear Preservation Center, located at 323 E. Broughton Street. Doors will open at 5:30 pm for a wine reception and the discussion starts at 6:00 pm. Admission is free for HSF members and $15 for non-members. Both members and non-members may reserve their spot by visiting www.myhsf.org/events/lecture-series/.
