quilting is repair, in Appalachia they ripped seams

Blair Mountain, they had notions, but down the holler it's sick dreams

feds dropped bombs on the mountain, blew up enough had 'em switch teams

now it's white lightnin' on horizon, turned us fiends that just post memes

In the early-20th century, strikes and union battles were common in industrial centers throughout the US. But nothing compared to the class warfare of the West Virginia Mine Wars.

To celebrate the release of "Black Coal and Red Bandanas," an illustrated history from PM Press, we're exciting to host a virtual evening with author Raymond Tyler and illustrator Summer McClinton. They'll be joined by Shaun Slifer and Kenzie New-Walker of the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum!

For International Women's Day, I present to you fine folks our episode on the legendary Mother Jones.

#Labor #Organizer, #socialist, all around hell raiser... she lived through famine, plague, inferno, wars, and incarceration.

Learn about, or a little more about, this amazing woman!
