I got curious about the Gullah language, and which part of Africa it linked with - some say Angola, other from the Gola people in Sierra Leone/Liberia.

So I started googling around and I found this Library of Congress site with a bunch of interviews with former slaves (not Gullah speaking), both audio and written - Voices from the Days of Slavery Fascinating, and moving.

I'm rather glad this "Kumbaya moment" nonsense doesn't seem to have made it across the Atlantic. Or the Pacific either, it appears from some of the posts on this thread.
