over 300 years and which has
played such an important role
in the South’s history. Searching
for “gullah,” the Negro dialect

Carson’s monologue on the tube.
The following morning was
spent touring Fort Sumter. We
boarded a sight-seeing cruiser

island, resting solemnly at the
entrance to Charleston s harbor.

fort. The group listened to a
talk given by the black park
ranger now in charge of the fort,
an irony itself. With the lecture s

the museum and scrambling over
the crumbling walls examining
the huge guns, until a blast from
our cruiser signalled us it was
