Program Abstract
Queen Quet Marquetta L. Goodwine is the founder of the premiere advocacy organization for the continuation of Gullah/Geechee culture, the Gullah/Geechee Sea Island Coalition. Her advocacy was instrumental in motivating The Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Act, passed by Congress on October 12, 2006. She has served as a member of the federal Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission since its inception, appointed to this office by the Secretary of the Interior. Queen Quet will address the Gulf South Summit as the head of state of the Gullah/Geechee Nation.
