Julia Pearce

Community Activist

When it comes to putting people together, especially people from different races,backgrounds, and cultures, Julia Pearce is the person to see. Julia lives on Tybee Island Ga., which is where Savannah Beach is located. Tybee Island is approximately 98% white, but Julia was still able to organize a MLK Parade and event, and also a ceremony (Juneteenth Wade) on the Island.

She’s soft spoken but forceful in her opinions of the facts and circumstances. She makes sense in a world that seems to be going crazy. Julia is a people’s person, a person that unites instead of dividing , a person that is colorblind instead of blinded by color. If you’re ever near Tybee, Come Wade in The Water.
