Melungeon mystery: From hidden roots to North Carolina pride

Melungeon: The Criminalization of Race - International Storytelling Center

Feb 9, 2022

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 real families—Native, African, and European—who survived by staying hidden in the mountains. And when people don’t understand you long enough… they start calling you mythical. #Appalachia #AppalachianHistory #melungeon#HiddenHistory | The Melungeon Guy

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

Melungeon ancestry typically includes a combination of European, African, and Native American roots. It was a derogatory term back in the day. Which is why I find it odd that people who are descendants support the current political climate
