There will be a CD release for Ron Daise and a book signing for David Grim at the York W. Bailey Museum at the Penn Center Saturday July 26 from 6pm to 8pm. The event is free and open to the public.
Ron Daise, St. Helena’s native son, has released a new CD that continues to bring the beautiful Gullah culture to the mainstream media. His new recording of songs and readings, produced through a grant from the S. C. Arts Commission, artistically showcases Gullah language, history, and heritage.
David Grim was inspired to write his novel, Swift Currents, through his commitment to civil rights and his diverse family experience. In it, he blends his longstanding interest in the Civil War and his deep respect for African American tenacity through periods of deep despair, to tell a story of slavery’s end and freedom’s beginnings.
