Part 2 of our Oil Boom episode series is all about the company town! Were refinery company towns really that different from the old sugar plantations they sprouted up around?
In this episode, Kenny & Lauren focus on St. Charles Parish - home to two refinery company towns, one of which is still around today. Contributor Travers LaVille joins to watch and comment on the corporate propaganda needed to sustain company towns and the refineries they served.
