Awhile back someone had a post about the poverty in Appalachia, specifically one

small town in southern Ohio. There were also pictures of the families living there. Does anyone remember it and if so do you remember or have a link?

Also was wondering if anyone knows if there may be a link to: Michael Harrington and Today's Other America: Corporate Power and Inequality, on you tube or anywhere else I might be able to access.

I am doing a speech on economic inequality in America and thought it might have some great insight. Thanks in advance!
