Wilburn Hayden, who heads the social work department at Western Carolina University, has titled the exhibit "It Takes Some Kicking: Voices in Black Appalachia."
Hayden became aware of the black coal-mining communities in the region about 13 years ago while at Clinch Valley. He decided to document them in an exhibit now being distributed nationally through the Appalachian Consortium's Traveling Exhibition program.
