Inside North Carolina's Rural Tobacco Towns
Present-day North Carolina is still America's top producer of tobacco, but it's a shadow of what it once was. We traveled through the eastern part of the state to see how an industry that built fortunes, shaped communities, and defined a way of life still echoes through the small towns that grew it.
Thank you for watching our documentary -- we hope you enjoy it.

@jwsherrod@DefiantBaptist Then Everyone should condemn Greear for shutting down The Summit (what an edgy and cool name) during COVID, outbursts from the pulpit at families who left the church during that time, etc. Oh yeah and not condemning CRT, that was cool.
@TheJollyBrawler I haven’t seen this kind of behavior in the CREC. All of the gents I’ve interacted with have been solid and incredibly beneficial to my walk, BUT dam this is bad. Super annoying.
@NeilShenvi@Brian_Sauve Neil I heard you speak in Raleigh years ago. I was so hoping you would school everyone on CRT. Instead, you cried fake (obvious) tears about all the big bad RAYYcists in the Bible Belt. I think you have more to worry about at the Summit than the good works happening out west.
