@elizabethcatte Sending love. Keep fighting the good fight.

[Miners' Library @swminerslibrary]

We are very saddened to hear of the passing of George Brinley Evans. George was a close friend of the Miners’ Library and passionate about adult education. A former miner, he was also an accomplished author and artist. His storytelling, humour and comradeship will be much missed

After three-plus months of somersaults and cartwheels, the finish line is nigh.

I helped report and produce two eight-minute pieces of radio on coal companies and mine reclamation.

Hitting the airwaves (meaning, scheduled, as of now) on Monday on @MorningEdition and @npratc.

A moving tribute to Helen Matthews Lewis, who's work provided the foundation for the After Coal project:

[The Daily Yonder @dailyyonder]

The “grandmother of Appalachian studies” encouraged generations of students and activists to take a fresh look at their region. For some, that meant the chance to meet royalty in far-flung places and, perhaps even more impressive, go home again. https://t.co/YgdNZgk11X

@RoxyMTodd Thanks for honoring Helen's memory.

Helen Matthews Lewis, who provided the inspiration for the After Coal project passed away at the age of 97. Her presence will be missed. This outtake from the After Coal documentary feature Helen reading original poetry at @Appalshop's Seedtime in the Cumberland festival:

@Kenwardjr excellent article, thanks for sharing!

@JordanLLaney P.S. the Airstream is beautiful!

[After Coal @AfterCoal]

@JordanLLaney @StoryCorps used an Airstream as a remote recording studio. They were just recording voice, so they added sound proofing and installed broadcast mics with swinging arms that are common in radio studios.

The @HighlanderCtr supported the historic exchange between coal communities in Appalachia and Wales. Here is one way to support their legacy of fighting for justice: https://t.co/SbIMktBiI5
