| 520 | |a The Appalachian Volunteers formed in the early 1960s, determined to eliminate poverty through education and vocational training, and to improve schools and homes in the mountainous regions of the southeastern United States. In this book, the author illustrates how the activists ultimately failed, mainly because they were indecisive about the fundamental nature of their mission. The AVs, many of them college students, were also distracted by causes not directly connected with the war on poverty, such as civil rights and opposition. Within two years of the group's formation, they faced nationwide accusations that they were "seditious" and "un-American." The author explains how these activists, who worked for a worthy cause, ignited a firestorm of public criticism that ultimately caused their mission to falter. | ||
