Bin Yah: There's No place Like Home

Bin Yah: There’s No Place Like Home, a new documentary that portrays the impact of suburban development on historic African American communities in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, will be shown at Brookgreen Gardens on Tuesday, July 29 at 1 p.m. in the Wall Lowcountry Center Auditorium. The screening is free with regular admission to the Gardens. Bin yah is a Gullah expression for been here, meaning natives or long-time residents. Many Bin Yahs are artisans and craftspeople, practicing traditional skills including sweetgrass basket making, brought over from West Africa and handed down from mothers and fathers to sons and daughters. Narrated by Ron Daise, Brookgreen’s Vice-President for Creative Education,  Bin Yah: There’s  No Place Like Home, documents some of the special places of the Bin Yahs and their efforts to preserve them for future generations. The documentary features the debut of Bin Yah, a new song written by Ron Daise specifically for the film.
