Black Stories in Census Tract 2 is a curated multimedia archive illuminating the social, cultural, and historical impact of Asheville’s Black neighborhoods — honoring the families and communities whose roots shaped Stumptown, Hill Street, and South Montford, and bringing their stories forward through imagery, memory, and collective history.
The exhibit is created by STM Multimedia and Garnet Prose + Projects in partnership with the Historic Stumptown Neighborhood Association and with support from the Friends of Buncombe County Special Collections, Preservation Society of Asheville and Buncombe County, and Dogwood Health Trust.
