Marcino_Patricia_Interview- The Forgotten Arts

We are into our fourth month of our EDMT program at FSO. This month is going to be a lot of fun, although some parts, a bit challenging.

Coincidentally, I just returned from a trip to Myrtle Beach, SC where I had a fascinating encounter with some of the Gullah people of the Sea Islands. They have such interesting history and their crafts are magnificent!

The islands are still occupied to a degree, but as Mrs. Perry states in the interview, the young people are leaving for "bigger and better" things. They do not wish to practice the unique art of basket weaving and producing natural remedies.

I was searching for an interview topic and right here on my school campus I discovered a teacher who is very familiar with the culture of the Gullah. So, here is my interview.
