OUR HISTORY

'Making Good Trouble' on the Georgia Coast

The Center for Jubilee, Reconciliation & Healing ("the Center" or "the Center for Jubilee") is a non-profit, grassroots public policy organization founded in 2014 by Sistah Patt Gilliard Gunn. Sistah Rosalyn Rouse joined her as co-founder in 2015 after a successful presentation at The White House with Gunn's Gullah Geechee folk arts group "The Saltwata Players." Rouse hails from the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum and is a National Slave Reenactor. Gunn is a certified paralegal and social justice advocate of over 30 years.

The Center provides cultural heritage enrichment and diversity-and-reconciliation training to museums, school administrators, church leaders, government officials, and corporations within the southeastern region of the U.S. It designs symposiums, workshops, conferences, galleries, festivals, and lectures on historical truth telling, repair, reconciliation, and healing related to the African American journey from slavery to freedom.
