The Battle of Blair Mountain in West Virginia

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from historian and educator Lloyd Tomlinson speaking on the Battle of Blair Mountain in West Virginia, a critically important labour strike and movement of coal miners taking action for collective work place justice. Lloyd works with the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum which has been a central player in the region to lift up the under-told stories of coal miners striking for justice in the early 20th century.
