The Best of the Best of the Best!

History books are full of misinformation about slavery. They often depict the enslaved as slow, lazy and even ignorant people who needed direction, to become civilized, or incapable of being independent. Of course, that couldn't be further from the truth. The enslaved Gullah Geechee were the best of the best of the best. They were the highly skilled, technological craftsmen who were stolen for the knowledge that they brought with them, and the labor that they could provide.
