The
museum is currently showing a fascinating exhibition on Lorenzo Dow Turner, the
first African American linguist, and his discovery of the language of the
Gullah people of South Carolina and Georgia. He discovered that they spoke a
Creole language, with African ancestry.
I enjoyed the hospitality of Museum and Planetarium
director, Ellen Zisholtz, in her beautiful home. She was very generous with her
time and her friends!
