A Documentary Film

Guided by Gullah Geechee storyteller Sistah Patt Gunn, a diverse coalition has spent years battling to rename a historic Savannah square— once honoring pro-slavery advocate John C. Calhoun — in honor of Susie King Taylor, a Civil War nurse and formerly enslaved woman. The renaming marks the first time the city bears a square named after a woman and an African American, despite barriers and opposition. The film chronicles a community’s resilience and determination to reclaim history.
