Alphonso Brown is the founder and owner of Gullah Tours, in Charleston, South Carolina. Born and raised in Rantowles, a dozen miles south of Charleston, he is a retired band director. With a deep love for his city, Alphonso started a tour company dedicated to telling the stories of the many contributions Black Charlestonians made to the area.
We talked about the Gullah language, how Sunday morning continues to be the most segregated hour in America and how his black church has engaged with the white church around the corner through a common book study to explore titles related to race together.
