The Black Experience in Appalachia: Resources [View all]

This is one of the more interesting sites I've come across regarding black experience and history in Appalachia -- The Oxford African American Studies Center, which has a section that focuses on "African Americans in Appalachia". There are quite a few resources at their site http://www.oxfordaasc.com/public/features/archive/0213/index.jsp including essays, videos, photo essays, etc. A good introduction to this subject is provided in a work by Dr. Althea Webb, Assistant Professor of Education at Berea College (see http://www.oxfordaasc.com/public/features/archive/0213/essay.jsp )

I know we have related threads scattered throughout our group forum and as time permits I'll add links here to those resources so we'll have an "umbrella" thread for an easy and more comprehensive reference.
