“How can you discuss what’s going on and why without understanding the history?” he said.

Campbell is not alone in his reservations. Other Gullah residents share his belief that preservation efforts fall short of fully addressing the community’s needs.

Beyond concerns about how their history is told, Gullah residents also face ongoing struggles with land loss, as developers and legal disputes continue to threaten their ancestral property."

As development pressures reshape Hilton Head, sacred sites and Gullah heritage face threats, raising questions about what is preserved and what is lost.
