This story looks at the controversy surrounding a coal operation near an elementary school while also examining the history of protests in the Appalachian coalfields. It first aired March 29, 2007, on the program "Outlook" on West Virginia PBS.
@bennyspider1 I don't know if you should go as far as to condemn people to hell, but these people grew up knowing coal as the only source of providing for the family. What we need to do is educate these people on the facts of what coal REALLY is and how coal IS NOT going to be here forever. If we can get this message to them in an effective way and really show them what they're doing, maybe we can stop all this madness.
