An Oral History of Kate Bradley and Community Organizing in Appalachia
Evangeline Mee “Working with One Hand and Fighting with the Other”: An Oral History of Kate Bradley and Community Organizing in Appalachia traces J.W. and Kate Bradley in their home in Wartburg, Tennessee. (Photo courtesy of Margaret Ecker.) Afer meeting with a Berkeley professor in folklore who told me, candidly, that among other things he did not care very much about my feldwork experience as an undergraduate, I returned home to Knoxville, Tennessee, somewhat demoralized. Te professor had said he was more concerned with the theory-based side of folkloristics. Sure, I knew about the South, but could I deconstruct the Eurocentric genealogy of folklore? “Read Lacan and come back,” he said curtly. 230 Evangeline Mee My studies in folklore had been debunked, or so I felt. But just a few days later I found myself driving an hour west to interview two community and environmental justice activists for the Southern Oral History Program’s “Long Women’s Movement in the American South” collection. A confuence of interests, both academic and personal, brought me to the home of W. and Kate Bradley in Wartburg, Tennessee, that day. Te Smoky and Cumberland Mountains are a vital part of my family life, as they are for many east Tennesseans. Te mountains hold the memories of my childhood and young adult life, and they are integral to my idea of home and sense of place. Te environmental, economic, and social violation of mountain communities by the coal industry was therefore an urgent issue to me. Additionally, my interest in social and oral history attracted me to stories of resistance coming from afected communities, and to women activists in particular. -
