"No matter what happens to coal, West Virginia desperately needs industrial diversification," Deskins said.
|
|
Journalists followed them everywhere, and even wrote about what Deskins ate for breakfast, according to the Washington Post.

Second, higher prices for natural gas makes coal more attractive, and more competitive on the global market, Deskins said.

"It will definitely hurt further," said John Deskins, director of the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at West Virginia University.

The less-trained workforce in West Virginia also kept it from benefiting as much from fracking for natural gas, as many workers had to be imported from states like Oklahoma, Deskins said.

"It's a perfect storm of those three factors coming together at about the same time," said John Deskins, the director of the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at West Virginia University.

In West Virginia, Deskins estimates that sales would fall 20 percent from today's levels of 95 million to 100 million short tons per year, with coal-industry employment falling by about the same amount.

On February 2, four black students- Ronald Deskins, Michael Jones, Gloria Thompson and Lance Newman- arrived at Stratford, protected by nearly 100 police officers, hoping to avoid what had happened to the Little Rock Nine. The desegregation of Stratford, the first public school in Virginia to be desegregated, ultimately passed without incident, and an Anti-Defamation League newsletter declared it "The Day Nothing Happened". With this, Arlington County became the first school system in Virginia to desegregate. Arlington's public schools gradually continued to integrate, although courts only approved of its pupil placement system as being racially neutral in 1971, twelve years after desegregation began.

In East Tennessee and tidewater Virginia, the vote at the county level showed some strength, but it barely existed in Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas.Presidential Elections, 1789–2008: County, State, and National Mapping of Election Data, Donald R. Deskins, Jr., Hanes Walton, Jr., and Sherman C. Puckett, pg. 250 In a continuation of its collapse there during the 1890 Congressional elections, the Republican Party even struggled in its Midwestern strongholds, where general electoral troubles from economic woes were acutely exacerbated by the promotion of temperance laws and, in Wisconsin and Illinois, the aggressive support of state politicians for English-only compulsory education laws. Such policies, which particularly in the case of the latter were associated with an upwelling of nativist and anti-Catholic attitudes amongst their supporters, resulted in the defection of large sections of immigrant communities, especially Germans, to the Democratic Party. Cleveland carried Wisconsin and Illinois with their 36 combined electoral votes, a Democratic victory not seen in those states since 1852Counting the Votes; Wisconsin and 1856Counting the Votes; Illinois respectively, and which would not be repeated until Woodrow Wilson's election in 1912.
