Residents, landowners and supporters of the Hogg Hummock community on Sapelo Island fill a courtroom in Darien, Georgia, on Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2023, as McIntosh County commissioners meet to approve zoning changes that some fear will endanger the Gullah enclave founded by formerly enslaved people. Commissioners voted to double the size of homes allowed in the tiny community, raising concerns that rising property values and tax increases will force out the indigenous population.
