From the Governor's 2015 proclamation:

 
	WHEREAS, 	designated by Congress in 2006, the Gullah Geechee Cultural 
Heritage Corridor encompasses 12,818 square miles of land along the southeastern coast of the United States, including Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, Georgetown, Horry, 
Jasper, Marion, and Williamsburg Counties in South Carolina; and 
	WHEREAS, 	home to the Gullah Geechee people, descendants of captive 
Africans brought to the southern United States from West Africa, this area is the birthplace of one of our country's most unique cultures; and 
	WHEREAS, 	the Gullah Geechee people preserve their distinctive heritage by 
continuing the language, folklore, religion, arts, and other cultural traditions established by their ancestors; and 
	WHEREAS, 	increasing awareness and understanding of Gullah Geechee 
culture leads to a deeper appreciation for the significant contributions of Gullah Geechee people to our state and nation. 
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Nikki R. Haley, Governor of the great State of South 
Carolina, do hereby proclaim October 2015 as 
GULLAH GEECHEE 
CULTURAL HERITAGE MONTH 
throughout the state and encourage all South Carolinians to learn more about 
Gullah Geechee culture and important issues within the corridor.
