southern hospitality—new south!
March 18, 2009some of the best shots from my 3-day trip to Charlotte, North Carolina with Julius for two Immigration Court matters. All is well! Charlotte was a central city for the civil rights movement’s counter-sit-ins, as per attached photo from the Levine Museum of the New South! Love the soul food, the way people take their sweet time.
The civil rights movement of Black people in the South made it possible for many non white immigrants to come to this country. Without that movement, there would be no way for me to get to law school and run my own practice.
We found THE SOUL FOOD of Charlotte (Queen City)
March 16, 2009source: Mert’s Heart & Soul! Wow!!! The popcorn shrimp, to die for!!! They specialize in Southern Cooking: Low Country and Gullah Favorites! The maitre d’ used to live in Piscataway doing corporate work but she moved back to her NC roots where time is slow, stress is near zero. Cost of living here is very low, quality of life high (their movie theatres are 2x the size in NY and you can bring liquor!) even if the pay may be less.
Gullah defined: The Gullah are African Americans who live in the Low Country region of South Carolina and Georgia, which includes both the coastal plain and the Sea Islands. Historically, the Gullah region once extended north to the Cape Fear area on the coast of North Carolina and south to the vicinity of Jacksonville on the coast of Florida; but today the Gullah area is confined to the South Carolina and Georgia Low Country.
