“500 mountains across West Virginia, Virginia, and Kentucky have been stripped of trees and flattened.”

Larry Gibson, 66, died in his home from a hear attack Sunday.  Gibson was the West Virginia activist who built a social movement from his will to save a mountain.  He was the face of the fight against mountain top removal.  After his retirement at General Motors, Gibson moved back to his family home on Kayford Mountain.  During that time, mountain top removal was just gearing up.
