Le monde observe avec stupéfaction ou fascination, c'est selon, les décisions de Donald Trump depuis son investiture, il y a maintenant trois mois. Ses nombreux décrets pour relancer l'exploration et l'exploitation du pétrole, du gaz et du charbon américains semblent très inquiétants. Alors oui, cette politique symbolise un feu vert pour tous ceux qui ne veulent pas regarder la réalité du changement climatique en face et continuer à accélérer la croissance économique à tout prix. Mais, contrairement à sa lutte frontale et méticuleuse contre la recherche et la science qui est dévastatrice, les ambitions de Donald Trump pour recréer un « paradis énergétique » américain basé sur les énergies fossiles risquent de se heurter à de nombreuses réalités économiques et sociales. Sa stratégie semble datée, basée sur celle du XXème siècle, quand les États-Unis bâtissaient leurs richesses sur l'exploitation de ces énergies au détriment de leur environnement.Avec Philippe Copinshi, docteur en relations internationales, spécialiste des questions énergétiques mondiales, maître de conférence à Science-Po et chercheur associé au think thank Zenon Research.Et le reportage de Cerise Maréchaud sur l'extraction du charbon dans les Appalaches :La chaîne montagneuse des Appalaches fait partie des merveilles naturelles américaine. C'est l'un de ses écosystèmes les plus riches mais cette région, qui embrasse la Virginie occidentale, la Virginie, l'est du Kentucky et le nord-est du Tennessee, est aussi surnommée «Coal Country», pour le charbon dont regorgent ses montagnes, exploité depuis 150 ans. À partir de la fin des années 70, quand le minerai noir devenait plus difficile à extraire en profondeur, une nouvelle méthode s'est imposée dans les Appalaches : l'extraction de surface, en anglais «mountain top removal». Cela signifie, littéralement, que le sommet des montagnes est éliminé, à la dynamite, laissant un cratère béant et stérile à la place. Cette méthode qui, aux États-Unis, a ravagé une surface équivalant au Togo (50 000 km2), emploie très peu d'hommes mais a un impact énorme et irréversible sur l'environnement, la santé des mineurs et des habitants. Aujourd'hui, ces comtés miniers sont parmi les plus pauvres des États-Unis.

Calling Robert Gipe an author or novelist is a bit like calling Neil deGrasse Tyson a YouTuber. Yes, Robert wrote a widely praised self-illustrated trilogy of novels — “Trampoline,” “Weedeater” and “Pop” — that follows the travails of a young woman growing up in rural Appalachia. He completed that authorly feat, however, after decades working as an educator, community builder and theater-maker in and around Harlan, KY, where he continues to reside.Originally from Kingsport, TN, Robert moved to Southeastern Kentucky in the late '90s after receiving his master's in American studies at the University of Massachusetts. Initially he worked in marketing and fundraising for the legendary community media organization Appalshop in Whitesburg, KY and then became a professor and program coordinator of the Appalachian Center at Southeast Kentucky Community & Technical College in Cumberland. Soon thereafter he created Higher Ground, a community theater organization that since 2002 has created and produced plays with and for the community on local topics ranging from opioid addiction to environmental degradation.In this candid interview, Robert describes the challenges of encouraging community-wide fellowship in a politically divisive era and celebrates the role of art and artists in creating safe spaces for people of all stripes to celebrate their authentic selves.https://www.robertgipe.com/

In a shocking development, Letcher County Sheriff Shawn Stines has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder for the killing of District Judge Kevin Mullins inside the Letcher County Courthouse on Thursday. The incident has sent ripples through the small Appalachian community of Whitesburg, home to approximately 1,700 residents. The tragic event unfolded after an argument between Sheriff Stines, 43, and Judge Mullins, 54, just before 3 p.m. local time. According to Kentucky State Police, Mullins was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene. Sheriff Stines surrendered without incident following the shooting. Kentucky State Police Trooper Matt Gayheart addressed the community, stating that the killing is an “isolated incident” with no ongoing threat to the public. “Any time a situation like this takes place, especially in a small town, it shakes the very foundation of what the town is and this is no different,” Gayheart told local outlet WJHL. The Kentucky Attorney General's office, led by Russell Coleman, along with Commonwealth's Attorney Jackie Steele for the 27th Judicial Circuit, are spearheading the investigation. Coleman emphasized the commitment to justice, stating on social media, “We will fully investigate and pursue justice.” Governor Andy Beshear also responded to the tragedy, posting on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Sadly, I have been informed that a district judge in Letcher County was shot and killed in his chambers this afternoon. There is far too much violence in this world, and I pray there is a path to a better tomorrow.” The community's reaction has been one of profound sadness and disbelief. Lead county prosecutor Matt Butler recused himself from the case due to personal ties with Judge Mullins. “We all know each other here. ... Anyone from Letcher County would tell you that Judge Mullins and I married sisters and that we have children who are first cousins but act like siblings,” Butler explained. “For that reason, among others, I have already taken steps to recuse myself and my entire office.” Laurance B. VanMeter, Chief Justice of the Kentucky Supreme Court, expressed his shock and sorrow, stating, “I am shocked by this act of violence and the court system is shaken by this news.” In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, several local schools were placed on lockdown as a precautionary measure. The temporary closure of the Letcher County Courthouse has added to the community's distress, disrupting the daily lives of its residents. Judge Kevin Mullins was a respected figure in Letcher County, appointed by former Governor Steve Beshear in 2009 and elected the following year. He was renowned for his dedication to supporting individuals in the justice system struggling with substance abuse. Mullins played a pivotal role in developing programs like Addiction Recovery Care, which offers peer support services in the courthouse and has been adopted in over 50 counties across Kentucky. Mullins was also a founding member of the Responsive Effort to Support Treatment in Opioid Recovery Efforts Leadership Team, further highlighting his commitment to community welfare and rehabilitation. As the investigation continues, questions remain about the motives behind the altercation that led to the judge's untimely death. Kentucky State Police are diligently working to uncover all the facts surrounding the case. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

GEORGIA RADIO - Local elections are going on all across the Peach State, but one man, who's not on social media, or backed by big money is running in Carroll County. He recently spoke to a group of young farmers, and it was there our own Matt Jolley heard him speak. "I was really curious how someone could run a campaign in 2024 and not be personally active on social media. So I reached out and asked him." Said Jolley. Mark Johnson quickly answered back (via telephone), and said his campaign strategy is meeting people in person. In the digital age, Mark Johnson is trying to run his campaign the old fashioned way-- door to door, handshake to handshake. As for his online stuff, his daughter is handling that. He's a resident of the Lowell community, is stepping into the spotlight to share his vision for the county's future. Johnson, deeply rooted in West Georgia, discussed his candidacy on Georgia Radio with host Matt Jolley, highlighting his commitment to preserving the county's charm and safeguarding it against over-development.A descendant of a long-standing family in the Roopville, Lowell, and Whitesburg area, Johnson's ties to Carroll County trace back to 1830. His family's legacy includes the establishment of three churches, several local businesses, and service with the historic Carroll Rangers, underscoring his deep connection to the community's heritage and values.Despite spending his formative years on his grandparents' farm in Lowell, Johnson's appreciation for Carrollton's pristine environment and close-knit community drew him back after six years away. His decision to purchase and preserve his family's farm reflects his dedication to conserving the county's rural character for future generations.Married to his wife, Natalie, for 37 years, Johnson is a proud father of three children and grandfather to eight grandchildren. His commitment to Carroll County extends beyond his own family, driven by a desire to ensure that future generations can relish the same quality of life and sense of belonging that he experienced growing up.Johnson articulates his vision for responsible development that respects Carroll County's natural beauty and cherished traditions. "The wheel of progress won't stop," Johnson emphasizes, "but it should be steered in a direction that retains what makes it beautiful."As voters prepare to cast their ballots this May, Johnson presents himself as a steadfast advocate for the community's values and aspirations. With a pledge to protect Carroll County's unique identity and heritage, he positions himself as a candidate ready to lead with integrity and foresight.QUICK LINK:  https://www.markjohnsonforcarrollcounty.comQUICK LINK:  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557071433547Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/georgia-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Rev. George Mills Dickerson of Tazewell, Virginia was born in the years after slavery ended. He's remembered today through his poetry. And a new wave of black lung disease is ravaging Appalachia. We'll hear more from a black lung town hall in Whitesburg, Kentucky. Coal miners have their own thoughts about black lung, too.

On this Labor Day, we are sharing stories about the revitalization efforts going on in cities across Kentucky. Barkley Regional Airport in McCracken County opened its new $43 million terminal. Paducah celebrates its 10th anniversary as a UNESCO Creative City. We visit Cane Kitchen in Whitesburg, where they have been working to improve physical and mental health through food.

The United States is the world's largest incarcerator. Many of the prisons built since the 1990s are in rural places, particularly in Central Appalachia as an economic development strategy to replace the coal industry. The prison economy of Central Appalachia figures strongly into the work of both our guests, multimedia artist and organizer Sylvia Ryerson and professor and author Judah Schept. Ryerson is a multimedia artist, organizer and PhD candidate in American Studies at Yale University. For over a decade, her work rooted at the intersection of scholarship, activism and art, has probed the overlapping crises of racialized mass incarceration, rural economic abandonment, and environmental destruction. She is also the director of a new documentary Calls from Home, which documents WMMT.FM's longstanding radio show that sends familial messages of love over public airwaves to reach people incarcerated in Central Appalachia. Schept is a professor in the School of Justice Studies at Eastern Kentucky University. His most recent book is Coal, Cages, Crisis: The Rise of the Prison Economy in Central Appalachia. He has been active with numerous organizations and campaigns centered on decarceration, criminalization and abolition.  About our guests Sylvia Ryerson is a PhD Candidate in American Studies at Yale University, with a Master's concentration in the public humanities. Prior to graduate school she worked as an independent radio producer, and at the Appalshop media arts and education center in Whitesburg, Kentucky. There she served as a reporter and the director of public affairs programming, and co-directed Appalshop/WMMT-FM's Hip Hop from the Hilltop & Calls from Home radio show, a nationally recognized weekly radio program broadcasting music and toll-free phone messages from family members to their loved ones incarcerated, and Making Connections News, a multimedia community storytelling project documenting efforts for a just transition from coal extraction. Her research questions build from this work, and are rooted at the intersection of scholarship, activism, and art.  Judah Schept is a Professor in the School of Justice Studies at Eastern Kentucky University. He is the author of Coal, Cages, Crisis: The Rise of the Prison Economy in Central Appalachia (New York University Press, 2022) and Progressive Punishment: Job Loss, Jail Growth, and the Neoliberal Logic of Carceral Expansion (New York University Press, 2015. He is co-editor of The Jail is Everywhere: Fighting the New Geography of Mass Incarceration (Verso Books, 2024).

https://docs.google.com/docume... Unknown 0:00 A historical Arctic outbreak over the Gulf Coast from two years ago. 2021 there is a one minute introduction and then the podcast. The following podcast was given February 14, the year was 2021. It was right before the 18th and snowstorm that hit West Rogers Park 10 inches at O'Hare Airport. More importantly, this is right was given during the Arctic outbreak over one of the coldest Arctic outbreak over Texas winter storm across the Gulf Coast. Every county in Texas was under a winter storm warning. This podcast is hard to find. It's a rarity. It happened to have become popular on YouTube. So I've placed it onto here. I hope everybody enjoys. There's an enormous amount of other very interesting facts that take place throughout this podcast, including fascinating stuff going on in Africa in Mexico and throughout the rest of the world. Unknown 1:13 strong storm system of 29.5 inches located over in the southern Missouri area. Moving across southern Illinois is producing a major winter storm across parts of Texas and even Arkansas, Louisiana. These are states going all the way down to the Gulf Coast. Some of these areas have not seen winter storm warnings for years Brownsville Texas is under a winter storm warning Believe it or not. That's really amazing. It's the first time in 10 years. Some of these places in Texas are seeing the coldest temperatures since 1989. And some of them are seeing the coldest temperatures in over 100 years. Oklahoma temperatures dropping under 10 below. Very, very cold air arctic air making it all the way down to Houston, Texas, the temperatures dropped down to 12 degrees. By Tuesday morning and Houston, Texas that's super cold temperatures going down into the 20s in New Orleans. But the main story for tonight is the snow storm and the ice storm freezing rain, sleet and snow throughout probably the entire state of Louisiana. And throughout Texas freezing precipitation is even expected all the way down into Brownsville, Texas. Some of those places which were in the mid 90s, just a week ago or two weeks ago, are now going to be getting freezing precipitation. It's quite an amazing today's high temperature. This is totally remarkable. High temperature today was 94 degrees in three different cities in Georgia. Now the National Weather Service says the high was 90 in a place in Florida. But there are actually three different cities in Georgia that hit 94 degrees. These are cities which were which are ahead of the storm system, and they are under south winds. Another thing to keep in mind is that we're already in mid February. That means we're about seven weeks off of the Winter Solstice. So the ultraviolet index in the sun is really heating up right now. In fact here in Chicago in January, the highest they can ever get to is a one. But now it's already at a three and a three you could already get suntan and stuff like that. So by the end of this week, when the warmer temperatures come in which by the way, we are getting warmer temperatures here in Chicago and we're even going to get some sunshine. The forecast ultraviolet index here in Chicago is actually going to be a three and many people could get a suntan when the ultraviolet index is at that level. In any case, the rest of the country we have winter storm warnings all over the place. Really all over the place. storm track has gone a little bit further Northwest than originally thought yesterday. The storm is also stronger than we then what was originally thought yesterday. Therefore Chicago has been placed in a winter storm warning eight to 12 inches of snow. Luckily Alma, I believe everyone agrees to this. Eight to 12 inches of snow higher amounts are also possible. And here's the deal. The Chicago area is about to get snow with with a snow to water ratio of 20 to one or as the Northern Indiana National Weather Service puts it anywhere between 18 to 22. To one we don't get snow like that very often. I think we haven't getting snow like that over the past week. It's super powdery stuff. About two tenths to four tenths of snow of water equivalent is what's expected in places like in northern Indiana, that would bring snow totals up between four and eight inches here in Chicago. They are expecting a heavy Lake ABand Lake pant. What is it? A lakes heavy Band of Lake snow to set up right across the city of Chicago. It's going to start off in Northwest Indiana tonight. But it's gradually going to move west. Sometimes those things do that. They move west and it's actually going to set up right over the Chicago area. And if that does, those things are not always so predictable. But, or at least their predictions are not always so accurate. But you have to realize we have extremely cold air going over the waters of Lake Michigan. So whatever does happen, the snow is going to be heavy, really heavy. If there should be a band of Lake effect snow that sets up over our area, you could expect have the lake effect snow, probably tomorrow morning six or 7am. There also might be another band of heavy snow moving in tomorrow evening. It could be that some of the precipitation may stop during the day tomorrow, total storm accumulations again between now and Tuesday morning, eight to 12 inches, but some areas will be getting higher amounts. And the reason why the amounts are so high is two reasons. It's number one, the snow to water ratio is very, very high. So this stuff piles up real quick. Some areas like beginning snowfall rates of one to two inches in our number two, it's the lake effect. The actual storm is for the most part, it stinks south of us, the higher the highest amounts of 812 inches are basically in central Illinois. And they kind of go down and then it goes back up towards 12 inches here in the Chicago area. We're gonna see lots of wind. By the way, there's a blizzard warning, which is in effect for Texas right now, areas in Texas are under a blizzard warning. It's the only place in the country, which has a blizzard warning right now, with the most dangerous warnings right now in effect, they're probably the air quality alert, which continues to be in effect for Fairbanks, Alaska. And the avalanche warning, which is in effect for several areas in Utah. At least it's that National Weather Service. That's the Salt Lake City National Weather Service that is reporting these avalanche warnings, they don't make the avalanche warnings. It's some other organization that does that. But they are reporting it. Now here, I would say the two most remarkable things of the weather today and yesterday. Number one, I mentioned 94 degrees in three different cities in Georgia. It's mid 90s. And we're holding in the month of mid February. And you know what? If it's going to be in the mid 90s? They need a round of applause Unknown 7:22 and a chair. Okay, so it's mid 90s. In those three cities, Texas, I don't know what to do about that. The whole state is under a winter storm warning does is that a round of applause because they're scared. I'm sure they're scared. But a lot of people are probably really happy because they don't really get to see snow so much. But this year, they have been getting a lot of snow over there. So we're not going to do a round of applause for them. But in any case, out on the West Coast, we have serious heat that's going to be starting to build throughout this week. By the end of the week, temperatures are going into the low 90s in Palm Springs, California. Now, there's also by the way, another storm system. This one's actually stronger and deeper, which will be developing in the middle part of this week. I don't know if it's going to be hitting Chicago or not. It probably won't. Or if it does probably just the northern edge. That's what I think. But in any case, that storm system is going to be intensifying to a barometric pressure of 29.3. The chances are the majority of the energy of that storm is going to be taking shape on the east coast. It's going to ship it's going to shift over to the east coast from the Louisiana area. I think what is important to do, I don't know if it's important or not, but we have let me get it right here. I have there's some cities here, which there's some remarkable stuff. Okay. The cities Whitesburg, Georgia, the high temperature today was 94 degrees. Tonight it's going down to 43. The high tomorrow 49 degrees. So today's high was 94. Tomorrow's 49. Tomorrow night going down to 30 degrees. And then Tuesday night going down to 25 degrees. Temperatures back into the mid 60s. By a week by next Tuesday a week. Next week. Okay, that's Whitesburg, Georgia, the 94 degrees is what's most remarkable. I would be very curious to see if they had humidity over there because Georgia usually gets humidity but I wonder like how can you hit 94 With humidity this time of the year? Well, you never know. Okay, now. We're going to quickly mention Wolfsburg, Germany, nothing that amazing but in Wolfsburg, Germany. They're also getting snow. I don't know how much but the snow it looks like we'll be changing over to rain. The low this morning was 11 degrees. Temperatures are going to become much warmer as the week goes on temperatures rising into the mid 50s. And that's nothing really that remarkable some of the hotspots in India is starting to get hot again in in ahamed a bad med the bad India, temperatures going up to 96 degrees by next week. Compare that to Aurora Illinois, where tempera

When the devastating floods of July 2022 tore through the mountain communities of Southeastern Kentucky, visual artist Lacy Hale lost her studio and a trove of works in progress. Since that tragic and deadly night, though, even as many of her neighbors in Whitesburg have been forced to move away, one thing she has not lost is her determination to remain in the mountains where she grew up. They are in her blood, and they inspire her art, just as she intends for her art to inspire the people of her corner of Appalachia.Lacy has been making art in Whitesburg since returning from her studies at Pratt Institute in New York City in the early 2000s, and it has become her full-time occupation since 2017. In addition to being a painter and a muralist, she is also a printmaker and over the years has created and sold an array of items bearing her designs. One of her most recognized designs is “No Hate in My Holler,” a graphic she created in 2017 in response to a scheduled neo-Nazi gathering in a nearby town. “No Hate in My Holler” quickly appeared on billboards and T-shirts and also became a popular hashtag, garnering attention from national media outlets.Lacy's murals can be seen in communities throughout Kentucky and Virginia. Among the honors she has received are the Eastern Kentucky Artist Impact Award as well as grants from the Kentucky Foundation for Women, Great Meadows Foundation and the Tanne Foundation Award. In 2016 she co-founded EpiCentre Arts, which supports and advocates for art and artists throughout the Appalachian Mountains.In this interview with Pier Carlo Talenti, Lacy explains why and how her artistry is inseparable from her community and the landscape in which it nestles. She also describes that devastating July night and what it's taken to recommit to her art, her business and her home despite losing almost everything.    https://www.lacyhale.com/

Episode 57: Matthew Fluharty - Art of the RuralMatthew Fluharty is a curious, thoughtful, passionate, humble dot connector who asks as many questions of himself as he does of the cosmos in his roles as a poet, essayist, curator, and policy wonk. The Art of the Rural, the organization he founded in 2010, is at the forefront of the story liberation movement. BIOMatthew is the Founder and Executive Director of Art of the Rural, a member of M12 Studio, and faculty on the Rural Environments Field School. His work flows between the fields of art, design, humanities, policy, and community development. His poetry and essays have been published widely, and his work with his colleagues in the American Bottom region of the Mississippi River has been featured in Art in America. Matthew is the organizing curator for High Visibility: On Location in Rural America and Indian Country, a longterm collaboration with the Plains Art Museum. He recently received a Curatorial Fellowship from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts for this ongoing work. Born into a seventh-generation farming family in Appalachian Ohio, Matthew's upbringing instilled a belief that everyday, multigenerational knowledge can teach us about where have been, where we are, and where we might be going. Those lessons led him to take vows with the Zen Garland Order, a community that is a part of what's known as the Socially Engaged Buddhist movement. https://matthewfluharty.work/ (Website) // Email // https://twitter.com/MiddleLandscape (Twitter) // https://www.instagram.com/middle_landscape/ (Instagram) // https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewfluharty/ (LinkedIn) Notable Mentionshttp://artoftherural.org/ (Art of the Rural:) Founded in 2010, Art of the Rural is a decentered, collaborative organization that works to forward knowledge sharing, network gathering, and rural-urban exchange.  https://inhighvisibility.org/ (High Visibility) is a longterm, collaborative partnership between http://artoftherural.org/ (Art of the Rural), https://plainsart.org/exhibitions/high-visibility/ (Plains Art Museum), and individuals & organizations across the continent.

Riley Baugus grew up In the Blue Ridge of Allegheny County North Carolina with a family and in a community of Old-Time music fanatics. Though when he was ready to start playing banjo, his family wasn't in a spot to buy him one, he and his dad were able to drum up some DIY instructions from the Foxfire book series and make one of their own. Riley then became entrenched in what he found to be the soul of old time music, which are the vast array of stories told by the songs. While Riley's discography features only two solo endeavors playing banjo, he has collaborated and contributed both as player and vocalist to more than 20 other recordings, making guest appearances on albums by the likes of Willie Nelson, Allison Krauss and Robert Plant In the holler where John Haywood grew up in Floyd County, KY, he was surrounded by family, aunts and uncles and mostly older boy cousins who worked out their testosterone on sports and roughhousing. John found art, in the form of painting and drawing. Heavy metal music grabbed the attention of his middle school brain, and his parents got him a guitar at age 12. John's journey is a fascinating one, especially what brought him to the banjo and then back to the mountains, in Knott County where he lives now with his wife and kids and also owns and operates a Tattoo shop in Whitesburg. Riley Baugus and John Haywood know each other, have played together, and also know the history of their instruments and the tunes they play and sing. We can't wait to have them both here to share their music with you. That's the first program of Red Barn Radio's 21st Season.

Historic levels of flooding in eastern Kentucky in August caused 37 deaths. The State's governor described it as the worst natural crisis Kentucky has seen. River levels on the North Fork Kentucky River in Whitesburg reached 21ft (6.4m) compared with the previous record of 14ft (4.2m). The floods have tested the resilience of the people in the former coal-mining region of Appalachia. In towns like Whitesburg, where 56-year-old Val Horn runs a community kitchen - huge numbers of people have lost their homes and Val's kitchen has been preparing 1500 meals a day.

Dee Davis remembers watching his grandmother float by in a canoe during the 1957 flood that hit Whitesburg, Ky. The water crested at nearly 15 feet back then--a record that stood for over half a century, until it was obliterated last week.The water was more than six feet higher than the 1957 mark when floodwater destroyed the gauge.The flooding took out bridges and knocked houses off their foundations. It had claimed at least 35 lives as of Monday afternoon.And it was just the latest record-breaking flooding event to hit the U.S. this summer. NPR's Rebecca Hersher explains that climate change is making extreme floods more frequent. A warming atmosphere can hold more moisture, which means, when it rains, it rains harder.This episode also features reporting from NPR's Kirk Siegler, KJZZ's Michel Marizco and St. Louis Public Radio's Sarah Fentem.In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

This week on Inside Appalachia, we'll hear how women in the mountains spearhead movements to battle racial injustice, defend healthy communities and fight for the rights of all Appalachians.  We'll talk with the author of a book called “To Live Here You Have To Fight,” hear from podcaster Anna Sale and visit a camp that teaches young people to play rock music. Women aren't front and center in accounts of the region's history, but they've been influential in everything from the coal industry to labor movements to preserving traditions. Today, women are building on this history -- continuing to be role models for society, while taking our Appalachian roots into the modern day. In this episode, we'll learn about several of them, and what their stories reveal about modern movements for change across our region. How Women Led Appalachian Movements for Social Justice Appalachian history is full of sharp, groundbreaking women who changed the lives of people around them. In the 1960s, a lot of mountain women got involved with the federal War on Poverty to help people access welfare benefits. That led them into partnerships with civil rights activists, disabled miners and others. They teamed up to fight for everything from poor people's rights to community health to unionization. History professor Jessica Wilkerson tracks that history in her book, “To Live Here, You Have to Fight: How Women Led Appalachian Movements for Social Justice.” Wilkerson spoke with Inside Appalachia co-host Mason Adams about what led those women into activism — and what their stories tell us about the world today. “They argued for valuing the common good, and at the end of the day, that's what these women that we're talking about were fighting for,” Wilkerson said. Her book also explores how modern-day movements in Appalachia build on these traditions that were led by women. “In many ways, we're fighting many of the same battles around environmental justice, around basic quality of life.” Empowering Young People Through Music Girls Rock Whitesburg in Whitesburg, Kentucky is a music camp for female, gender-fluid, non-binary and trans youth. Throughout the course of one week, campers learn an electric instrument, form a band and write songs -- which they perform in front of a live audience at the end of the week. While the camp focuses on electric music instruction, participants also learn how music is tied to social justice. Back in 2019, Folkways reporter Nicole Musgrave followed two girls who came to camp and who reinvented a traditional protest song. Women-Led Puppetry Group In Knoxville Throughout history, puppets and marionettes have been used as an accessible means to tell rowdy stories, poke fun at authority figures, and provide cheap entertainment. Puppetry blurs the line between play and politics, between protests, pageants and parades - all of which have a storied history in the South. We'll hear a story from one of our Folkways reporters Katie Myers, on how a group called Cattywampus Puppet Council in Knoxville, Tennessee, is building on that tradition. Let's Talk About Hard Things West Virginia native Anna Sale is host of the popular podcast “Death, Sex & Money.” It's a show that talks about, as she says, “the things we think about a lot and need to talk about more.” Sale's new book, Let's Talk About Hard Things is about having frank conversations about topics that can make us uncomfortable, including relationships and death. “If you are ill, what are the kinds of last conversations you want to have with the people you love? And not try to act like it's not happening,” Sale told Inside Appalachia co-host Caitlin Tan.

Being othered, or outright discriminated against, puts you on the spot. You don't know how to react, and you make a million instant mental calculations about the other person, their possible intentions, the context, the power dynamic. It can trigger a fight, flight or freeze response that you later regret. It's stressful and complicated, even if you've been experiencing it your whole life. But what if you're three? That's the question at the heart of this conversation between host Charlene Buckles and Melanie Parker, a Filipina Kentuckian who grew up in Whitesburg.  Charlene tells the story of a friend whose half-Black, half-Asian toddler was approached at the zoo by an adult who asked him where he's from. "This is something that I still go back and forth on talking to my son about. because he's only three," she says. "I thought I had a few more years to even start talking about these questions that people might ask him." Melanie's oldest son is just about the same age. "I think you and I are well equipped to answer that question now. We've gone through it. We have the grit. We know the nuances of that question," Melanie says. "But I immigrated here when I was six. They're three. It's a lot. It's a lot to consider. Amidst potty training, making sure they wear their mask, is answering that question: Where are you from?" This episode dives into the difference between racial legacy (which Charlene describes as "what our parents have essentially taught us: It's okay, you're fine, you're gonna be fine. This happens to us, and just take it in stride") and racial literacy--the ability to examine racialized situations, process them and react authentically. And Melanie recites the lovely list of affirmations she shares with her son.
