From "The Mountain People" 1970 video describes the true meaning of poverty in Southern Appalachia.
This whole video is good but this one segment stuck out to me.
" I feel that the white people have learned more in the past few years from the colored people than they ever learned in the past two or three hundred years. That the black people have proven to the world that a man has to fight for his freedom. A lot of people don't believe in violence. I don't believe in violence unless it's necessary. The government, they say they don't believe in violence but if necessary they will declare a war against another country so that's the same thing if they are fighting for the freedom of the country. So the man, the poor man is going to have to fight for his freedom."
I set the timer at 18:25 which is about a minute before the man starts speaking.
