It is hard to convince the lamestream media of the (very accurate) points in this 1.28 minute piece. The Diane Rehm show, e.g., just reblathered that the NC primary proved the establishment beat back the TP. No mention of how far the TP has pulled the GOPer establishment itself to the right. We have our work cut out for us to get out the true word. Fewer than 1000 people have even watched this YouTube video yet. Above all we need every Democrat to get out and vote in November, despite the bewildering maze of voter suppression laws Tillis and his ilk have imposed on our state.
J.W. Williamson was the founding editor in 1972 of the Appalachian Journal: A Regional Studies Review, which he edited until July of 2000. He has taught college classes in Appalachian history, cultural politics, and literature, and he has lectured widely on the pop-culture history of "Appalachia" in the American consciousness. His books include Interviewing Appalachia, Southern Mountaineers in Silent Films, and Hillbillyland: What the Mountains Did to the Movies and What the Movies Did to the Mountains. He has won the Thomas Wolfe Award given by the Western North Carolina Historical Society, the Laurel Leaves Award given by the Appalachian Consortium, a special Weatherford Award given by Berea College, and the Cratis Williams-James Brown Award given by the Appalachian Studies Association.
