Each year, ARC's #BlackHistoryMonth Committee develops programming that allows our team to celebrate - and engage in important conversations about - the contributions of Black leaders in Appalachia and beyond.
This year, we were thrilled to host Dr. William Turner, the ground-breaking historian, academic researcher, author, consultant, and coal miner's son from Harlan, KY. His latest work, The Harlan Renaissance, details the critical history and role of Black Appalachians in coal communities. Learn more on his website:

Please join us in thanking Dr. Turner for his insights, recommendations, and commitment to making this information available to us all 👏🏿
