Back in 1921, 10,000 coal miners converged on Blair Mountain, WV, and fought a battle against coal company mercenaries to claim their basic human rights and the right to join a union. The Battle of Blair Mountain was the largest civil uprising in US history, aside from the Civil War. Today, the mountain and surrounding area is threatened by a destructive form of coal mining called mountaintop removal. This June, a coalition of labor and environmental groups will make their stand there, just as it was 90 years ago. In this ten-minute radio documentary, you'll hear from an archaeologist who studies the mountain; organizers planning the mass march; and union miners fighting to preserve the mountain.
