Christmas in Appalachia, 1965

Describes the stark poverty and hopelessness of one million people living in the desolation of Appalachia as exemplified by the abandoned coal-mining community of white
sburg, KY. Pictures the worn faces and discouragement of the adults, the children who have scant prospects of gaining any education, and the broken remnants of buildings that serve as homes, pointing out that for these people Christmas is a barren experience in a country of affluence.
