Black Appalachian Studies - Three Pioneers Gather

Session AbstractEd Cabbell, Wilburn Hayden, and Bill Turner – natives of Appalachian WV, NC, and KY – have combined roles as academics, researchers, and community organizers since 1968.  Cabbell’s master’s thesis at Appalachian State University launched Black Appalachian Studies; Hayden served as President of the Appalachian Studies Association and Turner, once Distinguished NEH Professor of Black and Appalachian Studies at Berea College received the Association’s Williams/Brown Service Award. They will reflect on race matters in Appalachia.
