On July 16, 2023, the NC Chapter of the Fulbright Association sponsored a narrated tour of Asheville, with a focus on African-American history and contributions. The Hood Huggers International tour group lived up to its ad: History. Art. Poetry. Music. Community green spaces. Vivid voices. Grassroots initiatives. The past, present, and future of African-Americans in Asheville is a story of resilience. Learn about this powerful story on Hood Tours. Explore Asheville’s historically African-American neighborhoods: Burton St Community, Downtown, and East End Valley. Artist, poet and visionary DeWayne Barton leads this intimate, interactive experience that is guaranteed to leave you looking at this mountain town with new eyes.
