Found this thru the Appalachian Community Fund link which links to the Southern Empowerment Project. My Grandma Maude Gudger was born in Maryville in 1905; she later married a Nichols in Leavenworth, Kansas. On the SEP site - "Blount County Tennessee: Spring 2005: Racist Threats Against Black Students in Schools, Vandalism Against Hispanic Business, Other Incidents. BLOUNT COUNTIANS SAY ENOUGH - THE RACISM MUST STOP!" Check the Southern Empowerment Project.
