On December 21, 1964, CBS aired a special report entitled "Christmas in Appalachia" with Charles Kuralt. The special visited folks Kuralt referred to as the "permanently poor" in the Eastern Kentucky counties of Letcher and Floyd. In this video, I discuss the report and show the original broadcast in its entirety. I would love to hear your thoughts on it as well.
