Morgan-Frazier Family Clan
The purpose of this book is to chronicle the history of a Black family with a Geechee and Gullah heritage known as the Morgan-Frazier family clan through a compilation of essays, interviews, research reports, documents, and photographs. As used here, the term Black refers to people of African descent. On the one hand, the term Geechee refers to a social group of antebellum Gullahs (and their descendants) who escaped from slavery, joined the Seminole Nation as Maroons, and fought in the Seminole Wars as partisans. On the other hand, the term Gullah refers to antebellum Black men, women, and children (and their descendants) who were born in Africa and came to the United States of America (USA) in bondage and the language they brought with them.—J.
