	Address to the World of Culture (Tbilisi, 9 November 1999)
		Georgia is well known as a country of poets and artists, and the proud heir of an ancient tradition, enriched down the centuries by elements drawn from contacts with other nations and peoples.
		Culture in fact is a reality born of self-transcendence; it takes shape from an impulse by which human individuality seeks to rise above its limitations in an interior drive to communicate and share.
		In meeting the cultural challenges of the present, Georgia’s spiritual heritage is a resource of inestimable value, for it preserves the great treasure of a unified and comprehensive notion of man and his destiny.

		According to Smith, "They have created a cultural blending of the African and Anglo-American to form a distinct low country society in which the contributions and traditions of both may be seen." Although the slaves of coastal Georgia undoubtedly created a unique culture, this culture must have been fragile and subject to disruption.
		Instead of simply describing the nature of the distinct culture established by slaves in coastal Georgia, it is necessary for Smith to discuss the factors that challenged the establishment of this culture and contributed to its inherent fragility.
		Recognizing the distinctiveness of the economic and social makeup of coastal Georgia enhances previous assessments of plantation society and challenges historians to reassess certain aspects of the antebellum south.
