Black History Badge Program
**ONLY ON OUR THURSDAY NIGHT GULLAH GEECHEE DINNER CRUISE**
The Gullah region once extended north to the Cape Fear area off the Coast of North Carolina and south near the Jacksonville area off the coast of Florida. Today the Gullah live in the low country region of South Carolina and Georgia, which includes the Sea Islands and coastal plains. These African-American Gullah people and their language are also called Geechee. Some believe that the term Geechee is related to the Ogeechee River near our historic city of Savannah. The Gullah people preserve their culture and heritage more than any other African-American community in the United States. They speak an English-based Creole language containing many African loanwords and significant influences from African languages in grammar and sentence structure. Gullah storytelling, cuisine, music, folk beliefs, crafts, farming and fishing traditions all exhibit strong influences from West and Central African cultures.
What will you learn?
You will submerge yourself in the history and culture of the Gullah Geechee people. You will learn about their travels from Africa. You will be able to interact and learn Negro Spirituals, traditional Gullah dances, and how to play games that the Gullah children once played. You’ll learn about Gubers, Kazoos, and African-American Religions. Aboard the River Street Riverboat Gullah Geechee Cruise you will enjoy a performance, story telling, dance and music presented by the Gullah Geechee Institute. Once you are able to complete your worksheet you’ll earn your Black History Badge!

On their treasure hunt they will explore the boat and learn some nifty pirate terms. Your girls will receive a River Street Riverboat Patch and will each make one SWAP to exchange on the boat with other girls, or exchange with girls they meet during their visit. Of course this trip would not be complete without a Narrated Sightseeing cruise of the Historic Savannah River! Our narrated cruise takes you north on the Savannah River under the Talmadge Bridge into the ports, where you’ll learn about their importance past and present. The Captain will turn the boat around and you’ll head south on the Savannah River where you’ll continue to learn about our beautiful historic city. The Captain fully narrates this entire cruise.

This event easily happens from 12-3pm. We will begin boarding your group at 12 o’clock. The lunch buffet will open at 12:30pm. Once the girls are finished eating they will begin their pirate treasure hunt! Once they complete all of their clues they will find the items they need to make their SWAPs! You will finish up your activities between 1:30 and 2pm and then set sail on our Narrated Sightseeing cruise from 2-3pm. The times can be reduced to fit your group’s itinerary and your specific needs.
