===Cultural survival===

Gullah culture has proven to be particularly resilient. Gullah traditions are strong in the rural areas of the Lowcountry mainland and on the Sea Islands, and among their people in urban areas such as Charleston and Savannah. Gullah people who have left the Lowcountry and moved far away have also preserved traditions; for instance, many Gullah in New York, who went North in the [[Great Migration (African American)|Great Migration]] of the first half of the 20th century, have established their own neighborhood churches in [[Harlem]], [[Brooklyn]], and [[Queens]]. Typically they send their children back to rural communities in South Carolina and Georgia during the summer months to live with grandparents, uncles, and aunts. Gullah people living in New York frequently return to the Lowcountry to retire. Second- and third-generation Gullah in New York often maintain many of their traditional customs and many still speak the Gullah language.{{cn|date=February 2022}}

The Gullah custom of painting porch ceilings [[haint blue]] to deter haints, or [[ghost]]s, survives in the American South. It has also been adopted by [[White Southerners]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theawl.com/2018/01/haint-blue-the-ghost-tricking-color-of-southern-homes-and-gullah-folktales/ |title=Haint Blue, the Ghost-Tricking Color of Southern Homes and Gullah Folktales |first=Katy |last=Kelleher |work=[[The Awl]] |date=January 16, 2018 |access-date=March 5, 2018}}</ref>
