Join Friends of Blackwater for a FREE, family-friendly public history program exploring "The African American Experience of Struggle and Achievement in the Allegheny Highlands." This special event will feature renowned historians Dr. Cicero M. Fain III of Marshall University and Dr. Tamara Denmark-Bailey of West Virginia Wesleyan College as they share the stories, achievements, and lasting impact of African Americans in our region. Through historic photographs, video clips, and rare documents, you'll gain a deeper understanding of an important chapter of West Virginia history that deserves to be remembered and shared. After the program, stay for a reception with refreshments and the opportunity to continue the conversation. 📅 Saturday, August 8 🕓 4:00–5:00 PM 📍 South Branch Inn | Moorefield, WV https://actionnetwork.org/events/black-history-in-the-highlands
