Encore: Underground Railroad And Fly Around Festival, Inside Appalachia

From Blankenship On Trial

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. The post Encore: Underground Railroad And Fly Around Festival, Inside Appalachia appeared first on West Virginia Public Broadcasting.
