For seven years, Ann researched, photographed, and wrote about Black history in the mountain region of North Carolina. She produced a book titled\u00a0<\/span>When All God’s Children Get Together:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>A Celebration of the Lives and Music of African American People in Far Western North Carolina<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ann says, “Over my lifetime, I heard many stories about my family’s history and the other African American families in my community of Happytop in Andrews, North Carolina. One day I looked at my parents, Purel and Margaret Miller, whom I will always love, and I felt a heart full of gratitude. Daddy worked, and Mama sang like an angel. I knew I needed to share their story.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n No one had written stories of the Black people in the territory west of Asheville, and also how our people arrived in the far western North Carolina region, so I took on the task. I realized that if I did not research these families and write their stories, many of the elders would pass away, leaving Black lives ‘invisible’. It took five years to research and write about churches, schools, preachers, teachers, and veterans. It took two more years to have the book produced and published before my God-given vision became a reality.”<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_testimonial author=”Gary Carden” job_title=”WNC Storyteller and Playwright” portrait_url=”data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iNTAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjUwMCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDUwMCA1MDAiIHhtbG5zPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yMDAwL3N2ZyI+CiAgICA8ZyBmaWxsPSJub25lIiBmaWxsLXJ1bGU9ImV2ZW5vZGQiPgogICAgICAgIDxwYXRoIGZpbGw9IiNFQkVCRUIiIGQ9Ik0wIDBoNTAwdjUwMEgweiIvPgogICAgICAgIDxyZWN0IGZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eT0iLjEiIGZpbGw9IiMwMDAiIHg9IjY4IiB5PSIzMDUiIHdpZHRoPSIzNjQiIGhlaWdodD0iNTY4IiByeD0iMTgyIi8+CiAgICAgICAgPGNpcmNsZSBmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk9Ii4xIiBmaWxsPSIjMDAwIiBjeD0iMjQ5IiBjeT0iMTcyIiByPSIxMDAiLz4KICAgIDwvZz4KPC9zdmc+Cg==” _builder_version=”4.6.0″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a monumental work. Ann Miller Woodford has gathered an astonishing amount of information, including old letters, church records, unpublished and previously published histories, mementos and diaries.

With extraordinary images and gripping narratives, Ann Miller Woodford opens a door to the homes, churches, and daily lives of the African American people of far Western North Carolina. She unflinchingly captures the horrors imposed under Jim Crow, but also the kindness and decency of the mountain people, who offered friendship and a helping hand to their Black neighbors. You can almost hear the music\u2026 you can feel the pain, the heartbreak, the striving. Like any great drama, All God\u2019s Children deals with obstacles and tragedy. But, ultimately, obstacles are overcome, and tragic circumstances yield to the indomitable human spirit. Historians and genealogists will treasure this book, but so will all who love humanity, America, the Southern Appalachians\u2026 and a great tale, told with grace and total honesty.\u201d<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”~ Phil Hudgins” job_title=” Author of Travels with Foxfire: Stories of People, Passions, and Practices from Southern Appalachia (Foxfire Series)” portrait_url=”data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iNTAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjUwMCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDUwMCA1MDAiIHhtbG5zPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yMDAwL3N2ZyI+CiAgICA8ZyBmaWxsPSJub25lIiBmaWxsLXJ1bGU9ImV2ZW5vZGQiPgogICAgICAgIDxwYXRoIGZpbGw9IiNFQkVCRUIiIGQ9Ik0wIDBoNTAwdjUwMEgweiIvPgogICAgICAgIDxyZWN0IGZpbGwtb3BhY2l0eT0iLjEiIGZpbGw9IiMwMDAiIHg9IjY4IiB5PSIzMDUiIHdpZHRoPSIzNjQiIGhlaWdodD0iNTY4IiByeD0iMTgyIi8+CiAgICAgICAgPGNpcmNsZSBmaWxsLW9wYWNpdHk9Ii4xIiBmaWxsPSIjMDAwIiBjeD0iMjQ5IiBjeT0iMTcyIiByPSIxMDAiLz4KICAgIDwvZz4KPC9zdmc+Cg==” _builder_version=”4.6.0″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n “Ann Miller Woodford sees beauty everywhere she looks: in her mountains of Western North Carolina, in nature, in family, in music, in faith, in truth.
