Fleming-Neon, Kentucky: Hard Times For A Historic Coal Town

Описание: Fleming-Neon, Kentucky: Hard Times For A Historic Coal Town

Fleming-Neon is a big part of the coal history of Letcher County, Kentucky. The town once hosted a hearing conducted by Robert F. Kennedy inside the high school gym in 1968. Flooding has long been a problem for the town and 2022 saw another devastating flood hit the area. With an already dropping population, there's an uncertain future for this historic town as it attempts to rebuild.
