Appalachian education  

Definición

  • Despite popular perception, there exists a long and deeply embedded history of liberatory education, literacy, and literariness in the Appalachian region of the United States. The markers of this history include institutions—from the Highlander Research and Education Center in New Market, Tennessee, where social reformers including Martin Luther King, Jr., studied, to Berea College in Berea, Kentucky, which was racially integrated before the Civil War and continues to offer tuition-free higher education to low-income and working-class families.
