Abstract:

Many residents of a community known today as Junaluska are descendants of those who made life vibrant in this historically black neighborhood. The referenced Affrilachian life, now recognized in neighborhoods such as Junaluska, long proved challenging to document because of factors that rendered blacks and whites from the region invisible.
