There’s an old Appalachian legend that Melungeons weren’t human at all—but genies. This myth didn’t come from magic. It came from fear, misunderstanding, and people who didn’t fit neat racial boxes.

Melungeons were a distinct, endogamous Appalachian people (especially in Hawkins Co., TN; SW Virginia; eastern Kentucky) with European, African, and Native American ancestry. \t•\tBecause Melungeons were mixed-ancestry and lived outside clear racial categories, census takers often labeled them as “mulatto,” “free people of color,” “Indian,” or even “white”—sometimes changing labels from one census to the next.#melungeon #americas #history #genology
