Brandon Dixon and Cornelia Bailey stop to talk on one of the main dirt roads in the Geechee-Gullah community of Hog Hammock, Thursday, Aug 23, 2012, on Sapelo Island, Ga. Many of the residents of the community can trace their heritage back to slavery before the Civil War. The residents are facing higher property taxes, threatening an already fragile community along the Georgia coast.(Stephen Morton for The New York Times)
