(African-American Group) Gullah and HBCU (United Shades of America) [View all]

In case you haven't seen it, Kamau Bell's United Shades of America had to recent pieces which were excellent and quite relevant to this group. The first was a few weeks back and was about the Gullah people of South Carolina. As someone who lived in SC for years, I was familiar with the Gullah (Geechee), so it was very cool to see a piece about it. This past Sunday was about Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), also a very interesting piece. If you have CNNGo, you can check out the entire episodes; if not, at this link, United Shades, you can check out clips.

Also, if you scroll down at that link, there is a clip of an African-American man who is a deaf actor (it was part of the show about disabilities). He's very funny!
