In the 1990s, these historical sites started taking a more inclusive and balanced approach. Gloria Barr Ford has been a part of the change. A Gullah interpreter of enslaved life at Boone Hall Plantation & Gardens, she tells stories and sings spirituals outside of the nine brick cabins that used to be slave quarters. It's fitting because she's also a reverend at the Dickerson AME Church in Georgetown, the seaport town north of Charleston where she was born and raised.
