Wendell Berry: Mountain Hero

"My name is Wendell Berry. I live beside the Kentucky River in Henry County, Kentucky. My connection to mountaintop removal mining is this river, and I know that surface mining in the mountains of Kentucky damages the river. I'm glad to stand with my friends and heroes from eastern Kentucky — Teri Blanton, Mickey McCoy, and others — in defense of the mountains and in defense of this river."
