🚨 #Georgia’s #SapeloIsland — one of few intact #GullahGeechee communities — is under threat.

The #BlakePlateau sits below what once was an ocean highway for trade + war. It holds American historical + cultural significance, especially for the @GullahGeechee, for who it is an ancestral graveyard for those who perished in the Middle-Passage. bit.ly/3UCKrjY
Opinion: We must dive deep to save the Blake Plateau
The Gullah/Geechee Nation and others ask for protection of a coastal treasure of historical importance right off the Georgia coast.
