When
Miners March The discussion of “When Miners March: The Story of Coal Miners in West Virginia” by William C. Blizzard takes place at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 3, at the Main Branch, 1740 Central Ave. Blizzard wrote
the book in the early 1950s, but politics kept it in a box for more
than half a century. Wess Harris, president of Appalachian Community
Services, which recently published the book, will talk about what
kept it unpublished, as well as the book’s significance to
recent events in coal mining.

A
book that is called the definitive history of the coal miners of
West Virginia and the reasons why it took more than 50 years to
get published will be discussed at a special program at the library.
