Bin Yah: There’s No Place Like Home
I had the opportunity to see the film Bin Yah a few nights ago as part of a film series in Park Circle (North Charleston). It's a documentary presented by The ChasDOC Film Society that explores the potential loss of important historic African American communities in Mt. Pleasant, S.C due to growth and development."Bin yah" is Gullah and it sort of means "been here (for a long time)". It's also a noun for a person who's been in the area for a long time. A "come yah" is everyone else.
Check out the web site for the film. If you live in the Charleston area, you absolutely need to see it. If not, you still should see it - it's a good description of what happens when development threatens to overrun historical areas.
