It’s not too late to be a part of our movement to reclaim our Ancestral land at Gilliard Farms!

Jupiter Gilliard purchased 476 acres of land in 1874 in Glynn County, Georgia in the community now known as Brookman, once an African American Gullah Geechee community. This land has been in our family for over 150 years.

Twenty year ago a family member was manipulated to sell family land located on our 100 year old farm. It has been our family’s mission to reclaim and restore our property that has our matriarch’s, Florine Gilliard-Johnson’s house that was built in 1920.

Join us as we reclaim our land, grow more crops, and rebuild this home to be used as an educational center! Click the link in the bio to purchase an awesome Strong Roots 9 t-shirt !

Come join us in New Orleans with special musical guests- Skip McDonald and Jaeme Brennan McDonald!

SAVE THE DATE FOR SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15!!! The Southern Food & Beverage Museum will be transformed into the Honey Dripper '84 Juke Joint featuring music and food curated by Matthew Raiford and Tia Raiford and a special performance from Tia Raiford’s father, Skip McDonald. Go to the link below for more information and to buy tickets. https://southernfood.org/events/2022/10/15/the-raifords-honey-dripper-juke-joint

Juke Joints were the center of African American life in rural communities across the Southern United States. Depending on the juke joint, you could find drinking, dancing, music, gambling, or some combination of all of these activities. Always informal, the juke joint was a true community space where workers from the surrounding farms and fields could gather together and unwind. Today, juke joints have become an endangered species as the rural population of the United States continues to move to the cities. While juke joints may no longer be found at country crossroads across the South, the culture and legacy of juke joints should be preserved.

Working with the Raifords and New Orleans artist Gavin Jones, the team at SoFAB will create a fully-immersive Juke Joint experience for visitors at the Museum. The exhibit will be set in 1984, representing the last peak of the Juke Joint era before these spaces became endangered species. The space will be curated with original art by Jones, archival material, vintage advertisements, popular records, and other iconic aspects of Juke Joint design. The exhibit space will also feature a working pool table and jukebox. The Honey Dripper Juke Joint will open on October 15, 2022.
