Enjoy activities at the Telfair Academy inspired by the new exhibition Roots in the Rushes: African American Basketry of the Lowcountry, as well as storytelling by Queen Quet, Chieftess of the Gullah Geechee Nation, basket-making demonstrations by Gregory Grant, Anastasia Ketchen, and others, as well as a "basket dance" by the Esther F.

At the Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters, tours offered will be abbreviated and run from 10am to 5pm (the last tour of the day will begin at 4pm). These specialized tours will explore Savannah through the lens of Black craftmanship, revealing how enslaved and free African Americans built and sustained the city’s physical and cultural landscape.

This program is made possible thanks to investment by the City of Savannah and by the Americana Foundation.
