Christmas in Appalachia, The Permanently Poor - A CBS News Special Report, 1964

Narrated by Charles Kuralt.

This popped up in YouTube for me. I found it interesting because I have ancestors who were coal miners. I wonder how it turned out for these folks.

1. Still voting for Trump, Justice, Manchin, Caputo, McConnell, Rand Paul, etc

So it really hasn't turned out well, I imagine things have regressed since any progress made in the Great Society. ACA was also boon to that region, but folks they helped elect will be putting paid to that as well.

2. Unfortunately

that's right.

Found this, which I haven't watched yet.

3. This was being filmed six hours west of my home and six months after I was born.

And, it was done on December 6th!

Okay, I am joking about that last one. But, this is a very good bit of history and I hope you all get the chance to check it out.

(My favorite documentary of The Revolutionary War is the six-part series of the same name that is narrated by Kuralt. Although it is primarily about the war itself, there is enough background and side information to make it worth the viewing.)
