Ben Fink, HATH’s first organizing partner from Letcher County, tells the story of how he came to Kentucky, who he worked with there, and what they’ve built together over the past five years.
Massachusetts HATH participants got to experience this work firsthand during a visit in 2018—including brick-oven pizza and bluegrass at the Hemphill Community Center/Black Sheep Brick Oven Bakery, BBQ ribs and
chicken by cooked by volunteer fire chief Bill Meade, and a staged reading of Roadside Theater’s original play “The Future of Letcher County.”
"Roadside Theater is dedicated to artistic excellence in pursuit of the proposition that the world is immeasurably enriched when people and cultures tell their own stories and listen to the unique stories of others."
