Coal Mining and Rural Racial Segregation: Herrin & Colp, Illinois 4K.

Herrin is a former coal mining town in Southern Illinois. Economically, the town is actually doing alright, benefiting from nearby Carbondale and Marion. The second town that I feature in this video is Colp, which is west of Herrin and is tiny. Back in the day, Colp was a town where people of color would go live in a region full of sundown towns.
