A voter referendum organized by Gullah Geechee residents of Sapelo Island aimed at repealing a Georgia county zoning change is set for Oct. 1. Here's what you need to know.

From the Atlanta Journal Constitution Politics News:

A sticker celebrating the Geechee heritage is seen on a pickup truck, June 10, 2013, as passengers board a ferry to the mainland from Sapelo Island, Ga. One of the few remaining Gullah Geechee communities in the U.S. is in another fight to hold onto land owned by residents’ families since their ancestors were freed from slavery. The few dozen remaining residents of the tiny Hogg Hummock community on Georgia’s Sapelo Island were stunned when they learned county officials may end zoning protections enacted nearly 30 years ago to protect the enclave from wealthy buyers and tax increases.
