"Almost all of us came from someplace else. Our ancestors left their homes and came to build a new land. Now that new land is our home," says Little Jim in Gloria Houston's children's book. We have all contributed to creating our new homes here.
Rather than a melting pot, we are a Mountain Mosaic created by the many vibrant colors and heritages that make up Western North Carolina. Viewing this Mountain Mosaic up close, we celebrate our individual differences. Viewing it from afar, we see that the individuality of each piece contributes to a more beautiful whole.
