Queen Quet of the of the Gullah/Geechee Nation joins us tonight on Political Prisoner Radio. She will speak to us about political prisoners and prisoners of war that arose from the African descendant people's resistant to slavery in the United States. Gullah Jack was kidnapped from Africa and enslaved in Charleston, South Carolina by Paul Pritchard in the 1800s.
Gullah Jack provided key assistance to Denmark Vesey, a free Black man who plotted to formulate an enslaved African rebellion in Charleston where they planned to take ships from the harbor and sail to Haiti to escape American oppression.
The plot was found out and he along with others were martyred for their part in the resistance.
Queen Quet Marquetta L. Goodwine is a published author, computer scientist, lecturer, mathematician, historian, columnist, preservationist, film consultant, and "The Art-ivist." She is the founder of the premiere advocacy organization for the continuation of Gullah/Geechee culture, the Gullah/Geechee Sea Island Coalition. Queen Quet has not only provided “histo-musical presentations” throughout the world, but was also the first Gullah/Geechee person to speak on behalf of her people before the United Nations in Genevé, Switzerland.
