episode 11: The People Could Fly
Today we have a story about enslaved people from the Gullah people. It is a story about people from the Kongo/Angola region of Africa. It is a story that is sad and happy simultaneously. Today we hear about the people who once possessed wings and held the motherland's magic in their souls.
