I am the daughter of a long lineage of coal miners. I never realized how destructive coal mining, especially mountaintop removal, was to the people of the Appalachian coalfields until I moved away from eastern Kentucky. I have seen many family members pass away as a result of black lung or a rare form of cancer. I love my heritage and culture. I want to be able to protect it. - Heather Baker, volunteer distributor of The Appalachian Voice, Bowling Green, Va. Add your Appalachian story at the link below!
