About
Who are we?
The name WeGOJA (pronounced we-GO-juh) is a fusion of words from three languages. Their speakers were people of African descent who were unwilling immigrants, brought to the Americas as a result of the Atlantic Slave Trade. They became major contributors to the growth, development, maintenance and success of the Carolina colony, later South Carolina.
