THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER! 

We must combat self serving requests that dishonor the heritage of Gullah/Geechee peoples. Stand firm against acting above the law in order to protect way of life, cultural heritage, and rural lands. 

We the people, should NOT accept anomalies used for personal gain!

- Beaufort County Land Use Committee Meeting on Monday June 12th at 3pm &
