SUMMARY:Science at Sugarlands: African American Experience
DESCRIPTION:The African American Experience in the Smokies: making the invisible visible\n\n\n\nAtalaya Dorfield\, Great Smoky Mountains National Park\n\n\n\nDo you remember the time when you were sitting on the front porch with your grandparents\, and they told you a story? Not just any story\, but a story that made you ask more questions\, read more books\, or share those stories that you learned as a child with your grandchildren. In 2018\, Great Smoky Mountains National Park realized that there was a missing piece to its rich puzzle of history\, which led to the park’s new project\, the African American Experience Project. This project is a collaborative effort with park partners and the community to document and share the untold stories of African Americans in and outside the Smokies. These stories have been shared by many African Americans around crackling campfires\, sun-beaten front porches\, and the lamp lit bedrooms\, but they have yet to be shared with the world. To tell this story\, the park is conducting research into African American experiences in the Great Smoky Mountains region of Appalachia from constructed 1540s to the present-day. Research topics in this framework include slavery\, the American Civil War\, social dynamics\, laws and policies\, careers\, recreation\, and oral histories. These are a few of the many key topics that will help park visitors understand this important\, yet untold story. \n\n\n\nLearn about the African American Experience Project from Atalaya Dorfield\, one of the folks working to reveal the missing pieces of this puzzle of Smokies history! \n\n\n\nVisit our main Science at Sugarlands page to for more information\, registration for this free virtual talk\, and recordings of past Science at Sugarlands presentations. \n\n\n\n// Cover photo: Job Corpsmen.
