Description

Toten' Brookgreen Plantation Back Home to Africa is a visual, historical and cultural discussion and pre-sentation about the journey of two descendants/generations of the Africans who inhabited the Laurel Hill, Springfield, Brookgreen Plantation Connection that dominated the rice industry of 19th century Georgetown, SC. The session brings together the shared experiences and exchanges of the grandmother, Veronica Davis Gerald (69), Professor Emeritus, CCU and her eldest grandson, Deon K. Turner (22), Senior at USC-Aiken. It is concerned with the question: What happens when two descendants, "toting" handed-down visions, stories, ways of believing, living in and viewing the world, mores and values come together with members of their family and people "cross the water" in Sierra Leone.
