USA. Illinois. 2017. Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Herrin, Illinois, a mining town that was home to the Herrin Massacre. Mining jobs have been the core of the economy in Southern Illinois for the past century, a source of stability, prosperity and pride. In the last few decades the number of jobs have declined to a small fraction of their former number, leaving the economy in shambles with few prospects for new forms of industry to take its place.
