A little research gem...
I am currently working on a film that will introduce the next novel (James Still's River of Earth) in my college research writing course (it is an online course and multimedia presentations work well to deliver the lesson). In the pile of internet files and images I have been sorting through, I found one little gem. As I am researching images of poverty in Appalachia and the rural south, I have come across many scenic mountain views, dirt-caked coal miners and rickety country shacks. However, no other picture seems to speak to me quite like this clipping from the Roanoke Times (notice what ol' Melissa is holding in her right hand):
