Perceptions of Home:

The Urban Appalachian Spirit

About the Project

Perceptions of Home: The Urban Appalachian Spirit is the story of the migration of a people and a culture as told through the stories of twenty-two families and individuals who, through choice or circumstances, made the urban environment of greater Cincinnati their home away from home. Photographs in this exhibit are by Malcolm J. Wilson; interviews were conducted by Don Corathers; the exhibit was completed in 1996. A project of the Urban Appalachian Community Coalition’s Kith and Kin Program, Perceptions of Home, is a traveling exhibit that will soon also be a digital exhibit through the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library.
