http://alt.coxnewsweb.com/ajc/swf/gullah/movie2.swf
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was raised as a Gullah speaker in coastal Georgia. When asked why he has little to say during hearings of the court, he told a high school student that the ridicule he received for his Gullah speech as a young man caused him to develop the habit of listening rather than speaking in public.[4] Thomas’s English-speaking grandfather raised him after the age of six in Savannah.[
