Fw: BEAUFORT COUNTY PENNY PROGRAM UPDATE: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive Sidewalk Project Public Meeting, June 27, 2024

[Gullah/Geechee Sea Island Coalition]

Peace All!

This project was actually one that numerous Gullah/Geechees opposed due to the fact that it will not address the sea level rise issues at the bridge in front of Ebenezer Baptist Church, it will lead to the loss of trees and most of all, the loss of property by multiple Gullah/Geechee families and two historic churches on that road.  So, please be present at this "drop in."

Peace,

Gullah/Geechee Sea Island Coalition
