People. Place. Belonging.
Syatt Elevates
Syatt Elevates helps governments, park systems, foundations, community organizations, and institutions turn completed plans into places and programs people actually use, trust, and claim as their own.
A culture and environmental justice (EJ) exchange with our partners at Rural Action, plus a special visit with David Butcher at the Tablertown People of Color Museum.
Appalachia's story is too often told without the Black families who helped build it. Tablertown has been a community of color since 1830, even though maps still call it Kilvert. Coal mining shaped this land, and Rural Action works every day to restore its streams, forests, and local economy. The questions here (who gets clean water, whose history gets told, who benefits from the land) are the same questions our young people face back home in Cleveland.
