SUMMARY:Poetry and Patron
DESCRIPTION:Featured Poet: Zachery Williams \nZachery Williams is a 28-year-old Black author\, poet\, and storyteller whose work blends historical truth\, emotional vulnerability\, and unapologetic social commentary. Born and raised in Charleston\, South Carolina\, his voice is deeply rooted in the cultural legacy of the Gullah-Geechee people\, whose traditions and ancestral strength shape his creative expression. Through his writing and performances\, Zachery seeks to honor the past\, spark necessary conversations in the present\, and imagine a more liberated future. His literary journey is driven by a passion for uncovering stories often left untold—stories of marginalized voices\, generational pain\, and hard-earned hope. His acclaimed poetry collections\, Dear You: Journey of Emotions and Through the Moon Lynite\, stand as powerful testaments to his ability to turn raw experience into healing art. Each poem reflects inner resilience\, spiritual wrestling\, and the layered beauty of identity.  He is the author of the bold and unapologetic novel\, N.E.G.R.O.E.S.: Black\, Before He Was Anything Else\, a work that challenges narratives and centers the voices too often silenced.   Zachery’s words don’t just speak—they testify. \nOctober 29 Warm-up act: Island Writers Network Open Mic \nOctober 29 Musician: Corey Tate \nCorey Tate\, a South Carolina native now living in Savannah\, composes and performs his own work in solo gigs throughout the area\, from Big Bamboo and Tin & Tallow to Jamaica Joez\, GG’s and Coconutz. He promises at least one tonight using a spoken word poem as a bridge. \n

SUMMARY:Descended: Searching for My Gullah-Geechee Roots by Keith Rushing
DESCRIPTION:The Heritage Library invites you to celebrate local authors with two special afternoon events this May. Meet the authors\, hear the stories behind their books and personal journeys\, and enjoy a light afternoon tea. The authors will be available to sign purchased books. It began with a name—Sancho. A single memory from his oldest living relative launched author Keith Rushing on a powerful journey to uncover his family’s past. What he discovered was a deep Gullah-Geechee heritage rooted in Hilton Head Island. Sancho\, born into slavery\, later fought in the Civil War for his freedom and became a landowner—a story of strength\, identity\, and legacy. In Descended: Searching for My Gullah-Geechee Roots\, Rushing weaves personal discovery with historical insight\, tracing a lineage shaped by resilience and culture. His story is both deeply personal and universally resonant. Join Rushing and special guests Ahmad Ward\, Murray Christopher\, and Luanna Graves-Sellars for an inspiring afternoon exploring the importance of knowing where you come from—and why that knowledge matters. \n$35 per person | Limited seating \nReserve your spot at www.heritagelib.org
