"Outdoor Afro Encourages Black People To Connect, Lead In Nature"

"A Charlotte group focused on getting black people into the outdoors is coming to Hanging Rock State Park on Saturday.

Outdoor Afro has a mission to create and inspire black people to connect with nature.

The organization was founded in Oakland in 2009 by Rue Mapp who found that she was often the only black person in her outdoor activities and wanted to connect with others who might feel the same way she did, said Yanira Castro, Outdoor Afro’s national communication director."
