Thank you for this story. Growing up in West Virginia in the 60s and 70s I saw this first hand. Poverty everywhere even then and the stories I was told by my family about the starvation my grandmother suffered loosing a young child to malnutrition was heartbreaking. That's some white privilege for you.

My mother's family is from West Virginia, going back before the Civil War. I know what you are saying.
