New Book Series by Chief Godfrey KHill Reclaims Gullah Geechee Legacy and Redefines Black American Storytelling
Charleston, SC - July 17, 2025 - Author and cultural historian Chief Godfrey KHill has released a new book series that explores Gullah Geechee culture, history, and spiritual wisdom through a unique blend of education, allegory, and ancestral storytelling. The three titles, now available worldwide, are gaining attention among educators, parents, historians, and literary circles for their groundbreaking contribution to children's literature and cultural education.The trilogy-Gullah Geechee: The Blood Root to Charleston's Slave Trade and Redemption, The Gullah Geechi Worms of Rainbow Row, and The Gullah Peacock and the Geechi Squirrel-has been described as transformative in its approach to cultural memory, identity, and healing. Each book is designed to serve as both a tool for education and a vessel for honoring the ancestral voice that shaped Charleston's past and continues to influence its future.
A Sacred Storytelling Movement Rooted in Charleston's History
Charleston, widely known for its architectural charm and historical significance, is also a city with a complex legacy of slavery, resistance, and spiritual depth. Chief Godfrey KHill, a Gullah elder and founder of the acclaimed Gullah Geechee walking tours in Charleston, draws from that legacy to present stories that merge fact with folklore, joy with justice, and fantasy with historical truth.
In Gullah Geechee: The Blood Root to Charleston's Slave Trade and Redemption, readers are guided through Charleston's early colonial past, slavery's impact, and the resilience of the Gullah Geechee community. The book highlights the spiritual and cultural roots that have long been overlooked in mainstream historical narratives.
The second installment, The Gullah Geechi Worms of Rainbow Row, is a vivid children's tale that introduces magical worms who rise from beneath the city's iconic Rainbow Row to share the buried memories of Charleston's streets. Designed to educate through enchantment, the book has been praised for making difficult history accessible to young readers without sacrificing depth or truth.
The Gullah Peacock and the Geechi Squirrel follows two mythical animals as they navigate a magical Lowcountry landscape to rediscover their gifts and preserve cultural traditions. The story speaks to identity, belonging, and the importance of ancestral wisdom in modern life.
A Forthcoming Epic Inspired by Gullah Prophecy
Scheduled for release soon, Where Is Gullah Gullah Island: The X Marks the Spot is a young adult fantasy novel that continues KHill's mission of combining mythology with cultural preservation. The book follows 14-year-old Tameri Rivers, who discovers a glowing "X" mark that leads him on a quest to a hidden island erased from history. Along the way, he is joined by a red-cloaked cowboy, a fire-breathing dragon, and ancient spirit warriors as he faces elemental trials to restore the memory of his people.
Impact and Audience
These works are already being adopted in classrooms, homeschool programs, libraries, and cultural centers. The series has been recognized for offering a rare combination of storytelling, historical education, and spiritual depth that resonates with both children and adults. The books serve as literary bridges between generations and have sparked discussions around curriculum reform, cultural literacy, and community healing.
"Charleston is more than a tourist destination," said Chief Godfrey KHill. "It is sacred ground with stories that deserve to be told. These books are my offering to the ancestors, and to future generations who need to know where they come from."
