If you are interested in learning more about the red peas from Sapelo Island, visit their website: Sapelo, a barrier island in Georgia south of Savannah, is home to a population of people who self-identify as Geechees descendants of slaves and Sapelo inhabitants for more than 200 years. This short film by director Joe York, produced in conjunction with the Southern Foodways Alliance, explores the beautiful setting and asks if one heritage legume might be able to help the community grow

Let me begin by saying I am a capitalist, a conservative, and an old white male. I don't want anyone to think that what I'm about to say is coming from a Progressive Leftist. Over the course of my lifetime, I've observed a very troubling trend that was referenced in this video. People that have spent generations living and working in once remote, rural, or undesirable areas, are now being taxed or regulated off their lands, out of their homes, and out of a way of life. In a perverse and destructive way, we have made it illegal to be poor and traditional. Unless this trend is stopped and reversed, America will be consumed by, and administered by a small group of banks, media outlets, and internet companies. In the name of progress, elected representatives of the people have colluded with moneyed interests to facilitate this destruction of our rich and diverse culture. And what a bland and hollow world we will live in, when the folks of Sapelo Island, and thousands of other communities like it, are replaced by a new planned community, or the staff and visitors of another Disney Resort.

When I was young in NY we had a tenant named Geech. I wonder what that name meant. When I was alittle older my mother who was from SC told me their families were close in SC and that he was Geechie. I still didn't know what that was till I got older.

I'm happy to see they know where in Africa their ancestors came from. I hope they will find a way to keep their heritage alive for many generations. This is southern history that NEEDS to be preserved.
