Day 3 in Mossville, La. It has been a hard but wonderful few days in one of America's most toxic towns. Yesterday I attended the Truth Tabernacle Pentecostal church and it was by far one of the most warm, exciting church services I have ever had the chance to participate in. There was dancing, singing, clapping, and hugs and greetings from everyone. One member came up to me and said "you may not be in New York, but you are home here". This community is filled with kind people who have opened their hearts to us- sharing their time, their food, and their stories.
The wonderful people of Mossville are juxtaposed by the toxic environment they are forced to live in.
