Poverty and politics in Bottom Creek Appalachia
A NEA profile of Bottom Creek West Virginia details severe poverty in a 80‑family coal town. It notes scarce running water, cobbled housing, and failure of large poverty programs despite nearly $30 million in WV and federal funds. It highlights Head Start, literacy efforts, and community frustration with bureaucratic waste and shifting priorities. The piece ends with a call for real empowerment over donor‑driven programs.
