Deserted Coal Community in Southern WV.⁣ ⁣ This is the 2/3 videos from the time Jake Frye and I spent together a few months ago where we explore an abandoned coal community on the outskirts of Mercer county near McDowell County. It’s a sobering conversation about the future of coal, the quality of infrastructure in Southern WV, and the integrity of our elected officials. If you haven’t watched the full YouTube video be sure to do so at BowmanTV and of course, go follow Jake on all his socials.

In McDowell County, West Virginia, many residents say they don’t feel safe drinking water from their tap. Black and brown liquid oozes from aging pipes and contamination left behind from the coal industry. Reports of skin rashes and burns are not uncommon.

McDowell County, West Virginia, was once the nation’s largest coal producer. Now, it is one of the poorest places in America, and one in three households depends on SNAP benefits. Now, the program that has fed families for decades is facing the largest cuts in its history. Residents tell 60 Minutes it is another setback in a place that they say has been left behind. Cecilia Vega reports, Sunday. #westvirginia #mcdowell

In the 1940s, McDowell County, West Virginia, was rich in coal jobs. At its peak, nearly 100,000 people lived there, earning some of the nation’s highest hourly wages. But machines replaced miners, jobs dwindled, and the local economy collapsed. The poverty John F. Kennedy witnessed here in 1960 led him to launch the modern food stamp program. Today, there are fewer than a thousand coal jobs left and only about 17,000 people remain. #westvirginia #foodstamps #coalminer #jobs #johnfkennedy

Tucked deep in the Appalachian Mountains of southern West Virginia is McDowell County. Once the nation’s largest coal producer, today it is one of the poorest places in America. One in three McDowell households depends on SNAP benefits to feed their families. “If you would ask, probably, nine out of ten individuals here, they would tell you that they feel very much forgotten,” says Pastor Brad Davis, who leads congregations in McDowell County. #westvirginia #appalachia #ruralamerica
