The Making of Taylor Square

Gullah Geechee storyteller Sistah Patt Gunn leads a diverse coalition in a three-year battle to rename Savannah’s Calhoun Square — once honoring pro-slavery advocate John C. Calhoun — after Susie King Taylor, a Civil War nurse, educator, and formerly enslaved woman. Despite legal barriers and opposition, the film chronicles a community’s resilience and determination to reclaim history.
