Appalachian African-American Cultural Center

We are a community of people  dedicated to collecting, preserving, and sharing the history, heritage, and culture of Black Appalachians, with particular focus on Lee County and Central Appalachia.

We collect, preserve, and share the life stories, history, contributions, culture, and heritage of Black people in far Southwest Virginia and the broader Appalachian region. AAACC also offers anti-racism workshops as well as diversity and inclusion training.

The Center offers tours, hosts student groups, and organizes anti-racism workshops.
