Join the West Virginia Humanities Council as we celebrate 25 years of Little Lectures that focus on themes connected to America’s 250th birthday....our history, our rights, and our values.

Avashia’s memoir, "Another Appalachia" (WVU Press), was selected as New York Public Library’s Best Book of 2022, and her writings have appeared in The Guardian, EdWeek, The Bitter Southerner, and more. She has been a Civics teacher for Boston Public Schools for nearly two decades.
