If ever you find yourself on Pawleys Island along the coast of South Carolina, you might drive past a little street known as Dagullah Way. It features some shops, eateries and a few homes on an average palmetto, oak-lined drive. You might think it is named for a local person or family or that it is Native American in origin, but in fact it's a play on words alluding to a rich cultural heritage - the Gullah, or Geechee people.
Statesboro Averitt Center exhibition celebrating Gullah/Geechee opens Friday
