The Appalachian African-American Cultural Center is an institution dedicated to the documentation and historical preservation of the experiences of Black people in Southwest Virginia and the wider Appalachian region. The Mission of the Appalachian African-American Cultural Center is to collect the narratives, artifacts, and ephemera of African-American life in Appalachia, and in doing so preserve

the history, heritage, and culture of Black people in far Southwest Virginia and the broader Appalachian region. Through events such as the Annual Race Unity Day and their Anti-Racism Workshops, AAACC also seeks to provide a forum to discuss and develop solutions to the long-standing ills of racial and social inequality and injustice.

Come out tomorrow at 3 pm and cheer on our 2022 Grand Marshall, Jill Carson.
The To***co Committee chose Mrs. Carson as the 2022 Grand Marshall for her dedication to Lee County. Her pride in the county is evident with all the time she has volunteered in the schools, the Town, and not to mention The Appalachian African American Culture Center she and her husband Ron started and continues to operate. Mrs. Carson’s wish is for everyone in Lee County to be prosperous and for Lee County can be a place where your family can be raised and enjoy the family values that Lee County is known for.
Thank you Mrs. Carson for being a true Lee Countian.
