Challenge and Change in Appalachia

"Challenge and Change in Appalachia: The Story of Hindman Settlement School charts the life of a groundbreaking center for education that transformed a community. Growing out of the Progressive movement, the school embraced many of the same types of programs as urban settlement houses and worked toward providing educational opportunities for adults and children in the area. Additionally, the school was tailored to serve the community's particular needs, as its farms and extension work brought modern methods to the area. At the same time, the school encouraged preservation of the region's crafts and music and worked to keep the area's youth "mindful of their heritage.""--Jacket.
