Slave descendants on Georgia island fighting to keep protections that helped them keep their land

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 15:37:13 GMT

DARIEN, Ga. (AP) — Descendants of enslaved people who populate a tiny island community are once again fighting their local government, this time over a proposal to eliminate protections that for decades helped shield the Gullah-Geechee residents from high taxes and pressure to sell their land to developers.Residents of Hogg Hummock and their supporters packed a courtroom Thursday night to oppose a proposal by McIntosh County officials to cast aside zoning ordinances that limit homes to modest sizes in the enclave of 30 to 50 Black residents on Sapelo Island off the coast of Georgia.After more than 30 people spoke out against the proposal over two hours, the county zoning board made some hasty changes aimed at appeasing island residents and then voted to send the amended ordinance to McIntosh County’s elected commissioners. The five-member commission has the final say, and could choose to vote on the original zoning proposal that rattled island residents when it meets next week...

CLEVELAND (AP) — Joe Burrow sometimes seems too good to be true.In just three seasons, he’s taken the NFL by storm, leading Cincinnati to an unexpected Super Bowl appearance and consecutive AFC title games while establishing himself as one of the league’s elite quarterbacks.Only 26, and there’s hardly a flaw on his resume.Except for his record against the Browns.Burrow, who returned to practice this week after missing more than a month with a strained calf, is just 1-4 against AFC North rival Cleveland heading into Sunday’s season opener, when he’ll match up with Deshaun Watson and a defense that has had his number so far.Although his stats have been pretty solid — completing 66.2% of his passes with 10 touchdowns — Burrow has been a loser against the Browns. He’s 23-13-1 versus everyone else.In typical Burrow fashion, he offered no excuses for his failure.“They’re a really good team,” he said when asked about his struggles versus Cleveland....
