To people from the mountains, Appalachia is like no other place on earth, and they can often feel that their identity will not be welcome outside of the place they call home. Charity ’24, of Fogertown, Kentucky, frequently engages with this notion in her work and music at Berea College, where every aspect of her Appalachian background is not just welcomed—it’s celebrated.

The biannual Civil Rights Tour for Berea College faculty and staff is a relatively new tradition. The tour includes important sites of the Civil Rights movement in several states, including Alabama and Tennessee. The purpose of the tour is to create opportunities for faculty and staff to connect with each other and their work as Berea College educators, as well as to build community and appreciation for the work and the need for interracial education.
