Underground Railroad And Fly Around Festival, Inside Appalachia
Season 23
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
This week, before emancipation, Appalachia provided pathways to freedom for enslaved people trying to escape bondage. A new project identifies more than two dozen previously unknown underground railroad sites.
Also, the Fly Around Music & Arts Festival in North Carolina was inspired by the hard work that followed Hurricane Helene.
And, a ballad about floods recorded a generation ago still provides solace for people today.
You'll hear these stories and more, Inside Appalachia.
