Pittston Coal Company terminated medical benefits for 1,500 miners and their families—so the community walked out, protested, & rallied. The strike started on this day in 1989 & kept it up for nearly a year. We remember and honor them.

In 1972 a coal-waste dam owned by the Pittston Company collapsed at the head of a crowded hollow in southern West Virginia. A wall of sludge, debris, and water tore through the valley below, leaving in its wake 125 dead and 4,000 homeless. The Pittston Company, however, continued to deny any wrongdoing, maintaining that the disaster was an “act of God."
