This significant work reveals the powerful story of a people who have been largely invisible in their own homeland.

With extraordinary images and gripping narratives, Ann Miller Woodford opens a door to the homes, churches, and daily lives of the African-American people of far Western North Carolina. She unflinchingly captures the horrors imposed under Jim Crow, but also the kindness and decency of the mountain people who offered friendship and a helping hand to their Black neighbors.
