Emory Campbell Lecture on Daufuskie Island

Emory Campbell is a community leader among the Gullah people, African Americans who live in the coastal low country region of South Carolina and Georgia. Campbell is author of Gullah Cultural Legacies (2008), a synopsis of Gullah traditions, customary beliefs, art forms and speech. Campbell is the director of Gullah Heritage Consulting Services based on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, and he manages the Gullah Heritage Trail Tours on Hilton Head. Daufuskie Memories is on view May 27-August 7. Through a series of over 60 photographs taken from 1977–1982, Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe vividly and poignantly captured African-American life on Daufuskie Island, South Carolina. In that time, Daufuskie Island stood alone as the last South Carolina sea island untouched by the outside world, serving as a home to residents whose Gullah lifestyle, traditions, and language were preserved because of their isolation. Recognizing this unique culture and the need to capture this way of life, Moutoussamy-Ashe used her camera to chronicle the life of the island.
