appalachian. i knew that i was a mountain girl. my family had been in haywood county for generations in one branch of my family tree started or stopped depending upon your perspective when the cherokee were marched through. but i had to take a class called experiencing appalachia even though i was appalachian. to experience the region, we studied the foxfire magazine that lined the bookshelves in my childhood living room. we practice churning butter, we read about quilting. and some of this resignation with me because it was familiar. my granny painstakingly taught me had a quote one time which meant i watch her pull out all of my handwork. my granny grew in canned tomatoes and green beans. i knew the differences between blue lakes and there no sound more satisfying than the pop of lid ceiling on the kitchen counter late afternoons. there plenty of traditions i did not know. and there's nothing markedly that we did because we had to. it is true that i had eaten groundhog on a camping trip and she'

what is it mean in the 21st century to be appalachian. and perhaps most significantly one of our contributors asks in his poem social capital, what other appalachian voices have been drowned out in the flood of attention for this book have garnered? we are well -- three of us are academics and iv as a lapsed academic. [laughter] community development something that matters. [laughter] we have a lot of contributors in the book or not academics who are poets who are photography we have personal narratives and we have scholarship we thought it was really important to have multiple perspectives and voices that are speaking not just from the perspective of a scholarship but also lived experience. these things are constantly lapsing back and forth between people's experience in the kind of work they do. so the book is designed to address all of those different issues, from a number of different visions and to ultimately make the case that no single book, no single voice can speak for a place as broad and diverse as appalachian. thank you. >> i

born to the roots of appalachian mountain county but. the war on poverty is complicated while it helped some people. welfare programs like food stamps and medicaid it led to an influx of volunteers and journalists from around the world their efforts were confusing and troubling to some folks like my dad and his 2 sisters who were children at the time living in eastern kentucky one day somebody came up and gave every student there a parachute just have to jail was full of ugly that's what the government i guess thought we needed it was interesting to have people coming in to look at this area but it became very evident. it was critical and we're dead set on the force and my wife. so when i say the frail and the depiction of the poor appalachian mountain people it really irritates me because. as that. my friend shelby live. here. and good i'm just putting a smile on me and i'm going to give you my baby good. group. granny this let's clip that on your belt so that is i don't ever actually hi hello i'm going to agree to get right to let you

appalachian is a way of joy and a poem not of complication. but you cannot know what place without loving it and hating it and feeling everything in between. something inside you has to crack to let in the law so your eye and brain and heart can just properly. those attempting to patrol the region must become immersed in the region in a special kind of way they must go to the mountains drive these one round i miss that and for a while we're focused on this or jesus must attend weddings and high school graduations i must study the history of the place and come to understand them a set at a wake and look at the law on the faces of the people the calluses on their hands i must understand the gestational and generational complexities of poverty and price culture. i must stand for a while alpha. male but i started to greystones on the hill so that awaits inscriptions of names alone to people not sadistic not. looking like. sometimes you have to leave or you came from to find your voice. and other times you have to return to that same place to liste

appalachian is a region because. that is complicated and all its own the term hillbilly was born here and more recently the idea of the heart of trump country. oh. my. god. this is me. during the election this was my facebook page. this is my granny shelby. around the time of the election this was her facebook page. donald trump grabbing. me i just can't believe my grandmother posted this on my wall. i may be the only person from kanpur kentucky in los angeles almost everyone i know here despise a strong but back home the perspective is quite different. the 2016 election made painfully clear the disdain that urban liberals have towards so much of america particularly appalachia. i relate to both worlds. as a progressive feminist and filmmaker i was curious to visit my hometown during this divisive political moment. we are on our way to meet house hauler which is where i grew up and where i lived until i was 18 years old when i was accepted to the. kentucky and up backed up a u.-haul. and moved out. this is me when i

natural gasong pipeline being installed in the appalachian mountains of virginia and west virginia. >> natural gas was cheaper and more accessible egos of a process. today, natural gases the number one source of electricity generation in the united states. rolledead of relying on or rail, it can be transported through pipelines. many leaders and politicians have depth natural gas as a bridge fuel that would lead the nation to renewable resources. >> the natural gas boom is good. emissions for gas are half what they are for coal. as atural gas's role bridge fuel does not come without problems. when burned, natural gas releases methane, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide and other toxic chemicals into the air. fracking can cause earthquakes. additionally, a pipelines construction requires sacrifices from the land owners along its path. harm -- my farm was flourishing and then the pipeline moved trees around and all my fish died. bullfrogs and they all died. a lot of folks here had to work all their lives to get with a got and put food on their tables. the pipeline said we will give you hal

appalachians, appalachian boys, they were considered good at working point, they were familiar with mountain terrain, they were in rough environments, rough for long periods of time, 8% of combat soldiers in vietnam were from appalachia but 13% of medal of honor recipients were from appalachia. it is a pretty big disparity so to answer your question there was ambivalence at the time. young people unequivocally opposed the war. their parents were more ambivalent who supported the war but certainly didn't like seeing their children go off and die in such proportions. >> what is known about the health effects of the war on poverty? it is something that must be studied but i don't know anything about it. >> in terms of -- >> improvement in health in any stage. >> one of the fascinating things i haven't even mentioned while researching the book, just amazing people. one of the war on poverty programs was the creation of community health clinics, that were founded 50 years ago in eastern kentucky that are the primary healthcare providers for communities there and i would say statistically i don't

appalachians were, i was going to say appalachian boys. their men were considered especially good at points because they were familiar with mountain b terrain. they were intrinsic marksmen and they were familiar with the environments. 80% of the combat soldiers in vietnam were from appalachia for 13% of them were from appalachia so it's a pretty big disparity. to answer your question there was definite ambivalence in appalachia at the time. i think their parents were more ambivalent. they supported the war but they certainly didn't like seeing their children go off and fight and die in such proportion. >> hi. what is known about the health effects of the war on poverty? certainly there must be something that has beenhe studid but i don't know anything about it. >> you mean in terms of -- >> the health at any age but. >> one of the really fascinating things and i i haven't even mentioned some of the people researching the book just amazing people but one of the war on poverty progress was the creation of health clinics and hhere are still h

they have recast the midcentury story of appalachian life and to generate the world as it became, myself having lived near cumberland h for years has seen how it resonates with the population there. but even readers will familiar with economic withdrawal will find much discovered and everyone please join me in welcoming matthew algeo. [applause] >> thank you. thank you travis. how is everybody feeling. doing this with a handshake. it is great to be a politics and prose again. i said it before, this is like madison square garden, travis was mentioning some of my earlier books, i kind of like how this fits into theke previos books i have done. but a little background about myself is in order, it was good to let people know the person who wrote the book. the person who you will be giving your money to hopefully. i grew up in a town about 30 miles north of philadelphia, is an indian word means were nuts were cracked. i went to college at the university of pennsylvania in philadelphia and majored in folklore. i got that going for me. and after i graduated, i could not find any working for clo

appalachian eastern kentucky. thing to do with environmentalism and poverty and really surprised me and really thought maybe that was the way to approach the story was to look at what the 60s were like in eastern kentucky. and just by way of background before the rfk trip. in 1960 his brother jack ran for president. and west virginia was an important place in bobby was his campaign manager and this was the first time that jack and bobby really were exposed to american poverty of closeby i'm really think it struck are stuck with both of them. there is a funny story from the 1960 camping and west virginia where an old coalminer came up to jack kennedy as it is a true that you have never worked today yin your life. and jack kennedydy said, there s some truth to that. the coalminer said, will don't worry you haven't missed arr dan thing. [laughter]. so kennedy really was enamored with the people in west virginia and the people in appalachia and they think that stayed with him and 63, july of 63, harry it was a writer

appalachians i was in a say appalachian boys their men, were considered especially good at walking pointsbecause they were film layer with mountain terrain. they were fantastic marksmen, and they were familiar with living in rough environments because they did for long periods of time. i think it was 8% of the combat veterans, of the combat soldiers in vietnam were from app to latch about 13% of the medal of honor recipients were for appalachia, so it's a pretty big disparity. so to answer your question, there is ambivalence, definite ambivalence and appalachia the time. young people unequivocally opposed the war. i think their parents were more ambivalent than that. they supported the war but they certainly did not like seeing their children go off and fight it and die in such proportion. >> what is known about the health effects of the war on poverty? it certainly must be something that has been studied, but i don't know anything about it for sure. >> you made in terms of so improvement in health at any age,. [inaudible] >> it was one of the fascinating things i didn't even mention some

appalachians were appalachian boys, men were considered especially good at walking point because theyfamiliar with modern terrain they were fantastic marksmen and familiar with living in rough environments they could live rough for long periods of time. i think it was a percent of the combat veteran of the combat soldiers in vietnam were from appalachia. metal of t of the honor recipients were from appalachia. i think the parents were more ambivalent that they supported the war but certainly didn't like seeing their children go off and fight it and die in such post Ãbin such proportion. >>. >> what's known about the health effects of the war on poverty? it certainly must be something something studied but i don't know anything about it for sure. >> in terms of say à [multiple speakers] >> one of the really fascinating things i hadn't even mentioned some of the people i met on this while researching the book. just amazing people. one of the war on poverty programs was the creation of li community health clinics and still community health clinics were founded 50 years ago in eastern ken

so we do that at any of you have been to the appalachian studies association know they put out this huge book of all the things that are going to happen. my phone rings. this woman says i note with interest your doing a blog about appalachian stories on adoption of prosecutor is there a book associate with the project? i said no. she said, would you like there to be? [laughing] i called the pastor and i said duty, that was totally cheating to get a book deal. [laughing] and that's of the book came about. [applause]e] >> i'm going to start off with a question for another sort of question for everyone, each of these books exists directly or indirectly in a certain tension with other older accounts of appalachia. both stephen and elizabeth write about travel writing, , about local color essays that depict appalachia and its residents as something other. they also get into how those depictions affect come have affected the region and its people. stephen, there's a line that it want to flag from "ramp hollow," a moment where you're right that aspirations of stupidity backwardness and volatili

not necessary has surprised many in asia that people have worn face masks the years because of appalachian but in this town demick there practically a civic duty in europe that attitude is now increasingly gaining ground. in japan a surge in corona virus infections in the capital tokyo is putting the government under pressure to declare a nationwide lockdown over 2000 cases have so far been confirmed through i've japan in a bid to contain the virus many employees are already working from home and that's quite a novel concept in the land of the so-called salary. casually dressed as his daughters play nearby yuki such as work environment is far removed from a typical japanese salarymen tokyo's decision office workers are expected to spend long hours at their desks but the corona virus outbreak has forced employers and workers to adjust to more telly working from home it's getting a cautious thumbs up. what's good about tele working is that i can have more free time i usually spend 2 hours in total commuting which i now use to take care of things at home. that i like very much. the government

the rivers and creeks of the appalachians through the back woods, north woods of maine are overflowing. morgan as one of his pennsylvania riflemen remembered was wearing leggings and a loincloth which exposed his thighs to thorns and briars. his thighs were bleeding with cuts. this pennsylvania rifleman would remember how morgan once took a piece of firewood and threatened to beat a pennsylvania rifleman who had discharged his rifle as a way of unloading it rather than screwing down the muzzle and drawing it out. morgan was also, again -- he was hell for discipline. he insisted the riflemen carry heavy wooden boats across the appalachians even though the skin on their shoulders was worn, bloody and wagged. eventually begins to snow. all the virginmen are lost. they lose the money, medicine chest and morgan is once again, has the clothes on his back and his rifle. as you know, i should hope, the attack on quebec was unsuccessful. morgan did not succeed in establishing a 14th colony. benedict arnold, his commander, was wounded and literally the first shot out of the box. richard montgome

and appalachians boys or men wereas considered they were good with on terrain and fantastic marksmannd familiar with living in those environment for long periods of time. and those of the combat soldiers are from appalachia so that's a big disparity. so too answer your question there was ambivalence definitely. and young people unequivocally they were ambivalent and supported the war but certainly did not like to see their children go off ando fight and die in such proportion. what aboutta the effects i don't know anything about it for sure with the improvement of health for any age and just amazing people but it was the creation of community health clinics that were founded 50 years ago when eastern kentucky that are the primary healthcare providers for communities there and i would say statistically at the top of my head the school lunch program and then of those political problems that were systems that people ran and many had a one room schoolhouse and there are a lot of hurdles to tackle but i wondered what reflection of people and it is cool this book is the most recent happeni

in the 1960s we have an appalachian law, to improve appalachia but it didn't help, just made life harder, and i marked the divide at johnson howard university speech, he got ahead of it. we need to move on. we have a long treatment of the 1964 convention at which the mississippi delegation was not seated, the decision kind of betrayal by organized labor with johnson to turn away those people because they needed the votes of the regular mississippi party. >> i am excited to read your book. there seem to be two schools of thought. it was bad and counterproductive and the second is more modern, what is more centrist is it does enough for about enough and include transfers and tax credit into poverty rates since 1960 you see a lot of these programs help to reduce poverty, we shouldn't accept the this narrative, you need to do so much more, and so many transfers and embrace, the european type welfare system. where do you come down on that centrist or center-right point of view that there are enough transfers now? >> when you count poverty you can count it with benefits or without. when you go

three quarters of the land. 60,000 cherokees, chickasaw's, choctaws and creeks live between the appalachian mounds in the mississippi river and would not move willingly. the cherokee who occupied georgia, north carolina and tennessee fought against white settlers and officeholders through legal means, inventing printed languages and newspapers, and often converted to christianity and instituted gender roles more like europeans. but white sellers in georgia repeatedly infringed on cherokee land in 1806, 1809, 1817, 1820 eight and 1829. at each step, the cherokee ceded land. faced with such relentless pressure, some cherokees decided they would do better farther west, before removal. some moved to arkansas, missouri and texas in the 1820's, but most held on in the 1820's. andrew jackson, i assume this is an accurate quote -- built a fire under them, he told white georgians. when it gets hot enough, they will move. settlers did not wait for land issues to be determined by law before they moved in. the 1830's culminated the displacement of indigenous people who had already taken 100 million acr
