The Gullah are an African American ethnic group who predominantly live in the Lowcountry region of the U.S. states of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina, within the coastal plain and the Sea Islands.

The Gullah Geechee people are descendants of Africans who were ens|aved on the rice, indigo and Sea Island cotton plantations of the lower Atlantic coast. Many came from the rice-growing region of West Africa. The nature of their enslavement on isolated island and coastal plantations created a unique culture with deep African retentions that are clearly visible in the Gullah Geechee people’s distinctive arts, crafts, foodways, music, and language.

Gullah Geechee is a unique, creole language spoken in the coastal areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. The Gullah Geechee language began as a simplified form of communication among people who spoke many different languages including €uropean s.lave traders, s|ave owners and diverse, African ethnic groups. The vocabulary and grammatical roots come from African and European languages. It is the only distinctly, African creole language in the United States and it has influenced traditional Southern vocabulary and speech patterns.

The Barabaig are one of the Nilotic peoples who migrated south to East Africa from the Nile Valley in North Africa more than a thousand years ago. They form the largest group among the Tatoga-speaking people. Linguists tell us they entered what is now Kenya late in the first millennium AD where they congregated around Mount Elgon up until around 250 years ago.

'Bob Marley
Lyrics' War

( Band playing)

Until the philosophy
Which hold
One race Superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discreditive
And abandoned

Chorus:
Everywhere is war ( war)
Me say war ( war)
That until there no longer
( war)
First class and second class
Citizens of any nation
( war)
Until the color of a man's skin
( war)
Is of no more significance
( war)
Than the colors of his eyes
Me say war ( war)
That until the basic human rights
( war)
Are equally guaranteed to all
( war)
Without regard to race
( war)
Dis a war( war)
That until that day
( war)
The dreams of lasting peace
( war)
World citizenship
( war)
Rule of international morality
( war)
Will remain in but a fleetiing
Illusion to be pursued
( war)
But never attained
( war)
Now everywhere is war
( war)
War...
And until the ignoble and
And unhappy regimes
( war)
That holds our brothers
In Angola
( war)
In Mozambique
South Africa
( war)
Sub human bo***ge
( war)
Have been toppled
Utterly destroyed

Well everywhere is war ( war).
Me say war ( war)
War in the east
( war)
War in the west
( war)
War up north
( war)
War down south
( war)
War... War
Rumours of war
( war)
And until that day
( war)
The African continent
( war)
Will not know peace
We Africans will fight
( war)
We find it necessary
( war)
And we know we shall win
( war)
As we are confident
( war)
In the victory
Of good over evil
( war)
Good over evil.. ( war)
Good over evil... ( war)
Good over evil... Yeah..
War...
War..
War...
