Welcome to Episode 8 of Blac Re-Membering: Highlighting the Heavy and the Hope. Today's episode is part 1 of a 2-part conversation hosted by NitaJade, who is joined by the legendary Andrew and Symerdar Baskin.
Have you ever heard these myths about African Americans in the Appalachian region? Myth #1: There were no African Americans living in the Appalachian region. Myth #2: African Americans in Appalachia were all impoverished and uneducated. Myth #3: The contributions of African Americans in the Appalachian region have been erased from history. Join us as our guests as they dispel these myths and share the empowering truth about the importance of preserving personal narratives and reclaiming our history.
A special thank you to the Baskins for their time and lifelong contributions to African Americans and the greater world.
