#268: An attack on historic preservation in Appalachia (and everywhere)

Today, Chuck talks with Sarah Love, an archeologist and doctoral candidate at the University of Georgia, about a threat to the National Historic Preservation Act taking place right now and what we can do about it. Resources: https://www.106strong.com/ — website full of resources and a Take Action portal https://www.saa.org/ — the Society for American Archaeology has educational resources on archaeology's importance to America as well as a Take Action portal. https://savingplaces.org/ — the National Trust for Historic Preservation. They are the biggest preservation focused non-profit in the country, a massive distributor of preservation grants, and they also have a section dedicated to Take Action. ASK your senators to say NO to the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (S. 5653) until we can remove constraints on public involvement and Tribal Nations. ----------------------------------------------- Transition/outro Music: “Leave it to Me” by Corduroy Brown https://corduroy-brown.com/----------------------------------------------- HELP SUPPORT APPODLACHIA! patreon.com/appodlachia http://www.noelegyneeded.org ----------------------------------------------- The views and opinions expressed on this show are the personal opinions of the host, Chuck Corra, and do not represent the opinions of his employer.

Absolutely critical examination of the true culture of Appalachia. So important to debunk stereotypes about our region and lift up voices that may seem unexpected to people outside of the area. A must listen if you want to have your thumb on the pulse of Appalachia.

Hosts rattle off the regime-approved center-left takes like nobody’s business. The Blair Mtn miners would weep if they saw the hosts’ soft visages.
