White, Chelsea -- Interviews

Chelsea White, an Appalachian native and community organizer at Down Home North Carolina, discusses experiences from her childhood and today. She discusses her mission to reconnect communities with their roots in fighting poverty and other problems to give back to the community that raised her and instilled certain values in her of close family and community, religious ideals, and education. This interview was conducted to supplement the traveling Smithsonian Institution exhibit “The Way We Worked,” which was hosted by WCU’s Mountain Heritage Center during the fall 2018 semester.
