Looking At The Effects Of Patriot Coal's Bankruptcy

Our Maria Altman had a story on NPR's Morning Edition this morning about the many effects of Patriot Coal's bankruptcy. In fact, the story continues, with another rally in St. Louis today.

To give you even more on this story, we present these photos - glimpses of the people affected by the actions of this large, St. Louis-based company.
