In this week’s show, we take a look at the health, envi­ron­men­tal and finan­cial costs of coal that fall to peo­ple liv­ing near­by. With the help of our part­ner pod­cast Cross­winds, we meet three impact­ed com­mu­ni­ties along a rail­road con­nect­ing coal mines in West Vir­ginia to ports on the East Coast. And we’ll hear how that rail infra­struc­ture was built on the forced labour of incar­cer­at­ed African Americans.
