At the southern tip of Charleston, where the Ashley and Cooper rivers meet, Battery and White Point Gardens offer more than just scenic harbor views and antebellum mansions. For the "Indians to Negroes Riding Tour, this site serves as a profound classroom for the unfiltered history of the Gullah Geechee people. Travelers will see the grand estates of the planter class, built through the exploitation of enslaved African and Indigenous labor. You will look out over the harbor, the entry point for the Middle Passage, where countless ancestors first touched this land in chains. We strip away the Cultural Heritage fluff to reveal how this defensive landscape was forged by the hands of Indians and Negroes who became the Gullah Geechee. You’ll witness the physical reminders of a city built on the rice and indigo trade, hearing the truth of the slave auctions that once occurred nearby. This is where the silence of the archives is broken by the voice of a full-blooded Gullah Geechee historian.
