"Michael, Row the Boat Ashore" (also called "#Michael Rowed the Boat Ashore", "Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore", or "Michael, Row That Gospel Boat") is a traditional #spiritual first noted during the #AmericanCivilWar at #StHelenaIsland, one of the #SeaIslands of #SouthCarolina. The best-known recording was released in 1960 by the U.S. folk band #TheHighwaymen; that version briefly reached number-one hit status as a single in the United States in September 1961.

"This is the latest fight against gentrification and the minimization of Gullah Geechee culture throughout the South as developers and newcomers see the waterfront properties as valuable.... Most of those areas are near African American burial sites — a sustaining tradition for ancestors of Gullah Geechee folk to be buried near the water."
