DESCRIPTION:<p>The Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission's M
 anagement Plan is available for public review and comment through Aug. 17\
 , 2012.  Management plan copies can be viewed electronically at libraries
  throughout the Corridor. <br /><br />The long-awaited document is 272- pa
 ges\, with a CD of appendices.  It provides a description of Gullah Geech
 ee people and culture and a brief historical overview. The plan highlights
  examples of important cultural resources throughout the corridor\, summar
 izes its natural resources\, discusses land ownership and land cover\, and
  briefly touches on the socioeconomic conditions within the corridor.  It
  provides a basic level of information about the corridor to facilitate a 
 better understanding of the future implementation that is outlined in the 
 management approach.  The commission's implementation theme is 'Enlighten
  and Empower Gullah Geechee People to Sustain the Culture.' <br /><br />In
  North Carolina the corridor runs through all of Brunswick and New Hanover
  counties\, most of Pender County and part of Columbus County.  The Offic
 e of Archives and History within the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources
  is a supporter of the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor initiativ
 e. <br /><br />'The department has worked with local stakeholders such as 
 the Gullah Geechee Caucus in Wilmington and hosted commissioners and visit
 ors at historic sites such as Brunswick Town/Ft. Anderson and Ft. Fisher\,
 ' said Michelle Lanier\, acting director of the N.C. African American Heri
 tage Commission.  She encourages North Carolinians to provide feedback on
  the plan.<br /><br />'This very significant document was produced as a co
 llective effort by the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Commission and Nat
 ional Park Service (NPS) partnership since 2007\,' said Ronald Daise\, com
 mission chairman.  'We commissioners are very proud of the Management Pla
 n's development and are confident it will intrigue the public\, stakeholde
 rs\, prospective partners\, and Gullah Geechee community and grassroots or
 ganizations.'<br /><br />Written comments may be submitted by visiting the
