In this powerful 8-minute program, union organizer and widow from the Mannington/Farmington Mine Disaster tells Michael Kline of the last day she spent with her husband. In 1968, 78 miners needlessly died in a West Virginia coal mining tragedy. For a deeper understanding of what really happened and how it could've been avoided, read The Memo, a chapter in Written in Blood: Courage and Corruption in the Appalachian War of Extraction https://www.folktalk.org/merchandise/books/written-in-blood-courage-and-corruption-in-the-appalachian-war-of-extraction/ Set to the music of coalfield songwriters and performers Jean Ritchie and Hazel Dickens, with a taste of ballroom dance music, this incisive narrative performance brings home searingly the true cost of coal, borne for almost 150 years and still today, by the people of Appalachia.
