WHERE DOES OUR COAL COME FROM?

Appalachian Treasures, a multi-media presentation on mountaintop removal and its critical social and environmental justice impacts, will be featured at a free open-to-the-public event on Tuesday, May 6 at 7:30 pm at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church, 2515 Waugh Dr. Although Appalachia may seem far from Texas, we are all deeply tied to the region. Not only does much of the electricity powering our homes and businesses comes from Appalachian coal, but the region’s history, music, and famed self-reliance remain a great influence in American culture. For information, contact Bridget Jensen, local host, at blj2@pdq.net or (713)417-2056; or Sandra Diaz, Appalachian Voices, outreach@appvoices.org or (828) 262-1500.
