Hi welcome to Channel 9 news I'm Keith Andersen
There's some major breakthroughs going on in Walden
And a lot to recap for those who just tuned in
Walden farmers signed with Raleigh's Tobacco Company
In a measure to preserve the town's economy
But the bulk of the wealth went to the CEOs at Raleigh
So Neil Zimmerman unionized the farm hands
And sent a message to Raleigh of their demands
But this simple act cost them their jobs and their lands
Exploited, unemployed and homeless contributed to higher economic unrest
Deprived of power and means they salted their former farms in protest
Now Raleigh's Company will lose profits buying new land in which to invest
