<p class="elementtoproof" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;color:black">This presentation explores the intersection of rurality and blackness by analyzing a cultural institution, the
Tablertown Museum, in Appalachian Ohio, and it posits that “unrequited” may be a better descriptor of the community’s understanding of its internal and external relations within Appalachia. In its efforts to preserve Tablertown’s oral history and its existential
struggles through periods marked by slavery, Native American displacement, segregation, economic underdevelopment, and environmental degradation, the Tablertown Museum grapples with these legacies within the physical and cultural space of Appalachia and the
neoliberal quagmire that is nonprofit status. This presentation explores how the Tablertown Museum represents a community forged at the frequently unrecognized intersection of "Black" and "Appalachia" and its ongoing struggles with self-definition, cultural
preservation, and economic survival. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
