Join us on April 11th as we celebrate Black History in Asheville!

“Black In Asheville” is a must-see documentary that shows the black history and cultural heritage of the Black community in Asheville. The film brings together Asheville residents and historians to recount the history of this community and preserve their stories for generations to come. It explores what life was like for slaves in Asheville during the Antebellum period, the conditions they were subjected to during the Civil War then the transition through Reconstruction, Jim Crow and Black Code Laws. It also shows how churches and schools were vital to the progression of Black Life. Join us and view this powerful film which will leave a lasting impact for everyone who watches it.

This film raises the question, “How much better off are Blacks today in a supposedly non-segregated Asheville and seeks to define where do we go from here?”

Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to learn and be inspired – admission is completely FREE! Food Trucks available.

Mark your calendars and spread the word!
