Hosted by the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum and funded by the UMWA, labor justice activist and author Kim Kelly came down to UMWA Local 1440 in Matewan to do a reading from their newly published book Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor.
“My event in Matewan, WV last night was truly good for the soul - a book talk turned into a discussion among community members about the importance of unions and organizing ♥️ A group of young folks and elders, retired coal miners and drag queens, came together in solidarity and lifted one another up in a cozy union hall a few yards away from a Mine Wars battlefield. THIS is the story of American labor.”
