Gullah Culture and Cooking with Sallie Ann Robinson
February 27, 2010, 11:00am-3:00pm
Author and cultural historian Sallie Ann Robinson will share good stories and sample good food in the kitchen at Barrington Hall.
Her tales of growing up in the Gullah Culture on Dafuskie Island, SC are truly a glimpse into a vanishing way of life.
Besides being the author of several books on Gullah food and culture, Ms. Robinson has the distinction of being a former student of Pat Conroy (author of the 1972 book “The Water is Wide”) when he taught school on Dafuskie Island.
Ms. Robinson will be available to sell and sign books, share her special Crab Rice or just visit.
This event is free and open to the public.
