The “Black Stories in Census Tract 2” exhibit will be on display at Buncombe County Special Collections at Pack Memorial Library from January 20 through April 21, 2026. A documentary film screening and panel discussion will be held in March, date TBD.
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 being produced by STM Multimedia and Garnet Prose + Projects with support from the Friends of Buncombe County Special Collections and the Preservation Society of Asheville and Buncombe County.
