For generations, the small town of Morganton, North Carolina, was once at the heart of the state’s textile manufacturing industry, but globalization took its toll in the 1990s and sent the town reeling. Against this backdrop of economic hardship, residents are reinventing the town’s storied textile legacy while embracing modern sustainable practices and promoting worker ownership.
