Abstract:
This article examines the Blue Ridge YMCA conference center near the town of Black Mountain and its attempts to better race relations in the U.S. South. The 1906 founding of the center by Willis Duke Weatherford is also discussed, as it was one of the only social institutions in the South where racial issues were openly discussed.
