Is There A Black Middle Class In Asheville?

Dr. Darin Waters answers, "Is There A Black Middle Class In Asheville?"

Darin Waters, Ph.D. has made regional African-American history a prime subject of his own research, and organized the African-Americans in WNC conference in order to share recent contributions to the historical record by area scholars, alongside the first-person stories of those involved in key events. In an effort to fill the gap in regional history — the missing story of African-Americans in Western North Carolina — the conference seeks to: dismantle the longstanding myth that there was no African-American presence in this region, provide educators with a way to integrate this work into the larger narrative of the region, the state and the nation, and demonstrate to a largely neglected group of the Asheville population that one of the leading institutes of higher education in this region, which UNCA is, takes their presence, their history and their contributions to this region very seriously.
