Six years ago, the Alice Dunnigan sculpture debuted at the Newseum!

@arden_barnes and I attended for the @KyKernel. I was already fascinated by Alice, but I didn’t yet know I’d spend the next six years writing about her—for a book that will hopefully be on your shelf someday!

Months after the floods, some are living in state parks and debris hangs in trees. As more Americans are displaced from climate disasters, Kentucky shows the added difficulties when they strike in rural areas. https://t.co/jULvXqrCOT
