From Appalshop: “Evelyn Williams is a portrait of a woman who is many things: a coal miner’s daughter and wife; a domestic worker and mother of nine; a college student in her 50s and community organizer; an Appalachian African American. Above all, she is a woman whose awareness of class and race oppression has led her to a lifetime of activism. Now in her 80s, she is battling to save her land in eastern Kentucky from destruction by a large oil and gas firm. “

From Facebook: Like every community in America, Corbin has a difficult relationship with race. Through this film screening, we hope to bring folks together to learn about Kentucky's anti-racist organizing history and talk about what we can do individually and collectively put a stop to racism in our communities.
