SapeloTax

Several family members from Chicago visiting Lula Walker eat at her restaurant Lula's Kitchen on Sapelo Island, Georgia. Mrs. Walker is one of several African Geechee-Gullah residents facing a property tax increase close to 1,000 percents from 2011 county tax assessments. Walker can trace her family's heritage back to slavery before the Civil War. (Stephen Morton for The New York Times)
