Season 22
Published 11 months, 1 week ago
Description
Textbooks have long left out an important piece of labor history that happened here in the mountains --the Mine Wars. Now, there's a book out that's written for teenagers.
Also, when flooding devastates a community, people can find solace through faith and through song.
And we remember songwriter Billy Edd Wheeler, who passed away last year. Dozens of musicians have covered his songs, including Johnny Cash and June Carter.
