\"\"The exhibition is a reflection on Appalachian protagonists throughout children\u2019s literature, featuring characters from over 6 of the Appalachian states. Each character is unique bringing something new to the table. Their hopes and dreams vary from the desire catch the fastest chicken in the barnyard to finding a solution to eliminate toxic waste from the Chattanooga Creek. The selected examples, vary in age, race, region, and culture, because as Appalachian Center Director, Chris Green, would say, \u201cThere are many different Appalachias.\u201d and it is important to reflect that. This exhibit is meant to expand the audience\u2019s perception of who an Appalachian protagonist is, and inspire conversations about how we can be more inclusive in representing Appalachians in children\u2019s literature today.<\/p>\n
