About the Historic Elmwood Pinewood, Inc (HEPI): HEPI is a 501(3) non-profit dedicated to preserving, restoring, enhancing, and sharing the original historic and park-like atmosphere of Elmwood Pinewood, and Settler’s Cemeteries.

Before there was a Department of Parks and Recreation, cemeteries were purposely designed for dual-use. Easter and Halloween parades were conducted in Elmwood. Families had picnics and children played in the green space. We at HEPI believe that we, in concert with the City, can provide a safe, friendly, and serene environment for those interred, those visiting loved ones, and those wanting to learn about our past or just take a break from the hubbub.

Join WFAE for an intimate evening with the internationally recognized chieftess of the Gullah Geechee Nation, Queen Quet, Marquetta L. Goodwine. Queen Quet will join WFAE President & CEO Ju-Don Marshall for a conversation that explores the history, culture and heritage of the Gullah Geechee people, who live along the coasts from North Carolina to Florida.

You'll hear how the Gullah/Geechee's roots in Africa shaped their culture in America and how that culture continues to influence so much of what we think of as African American and mainstream culture today: from our music and language to our food and traditions.

Queen Quet will share her wisdom, stories, and tireless advocacy for preserving the culture and heritage of the Gullah/Geechee people.

Evening Schedule:

• 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM: Opening Reception
