Black Appalachian Coalition

Welcome to Our BLAC Stories Series. On today's episode, step into the untold story of Carter G. Woodson, the Appalachian scholar. Discover how a figure from the heart of Appalachia defied odds and etched his legacy in history. Unravel the unexpected connection between the iconic Black scholar who reshaped the narrative of African American history and the Appalachian region.

The mission of the Black Appalachian Coalition (BLAC) is to build a multi-state campaign that amplifies black voices, dismantles the colonized narrative of Appalachia, and uses story-based strategies and solutions that center the voices and lived experiences of Black Appalachians.
