"Those of us live and work in the Lowcountry know that the area offers visitors a unique opportunity. It is the only place in the country where one can find a direct link between the African heritage of African Americans and the hybrid African-American culture that they developed in the United States. Indeed, one can argue that the roots of the African-American experience lie in Charleston and the Lowcountry of South Carolina."
