Thread Name: Folklore: Stop Coal Co. from Erasing Union History
Subject: RE: BS: Stop Coal Co. from Erasing Union History
Living on the other side of the Atlantic, there's not much else I can do but sign the petition. But sign it I have. The way the poor have been written out of history is a source of constant anger to me.
Everybody ought to know about the struggles of those miners and about all the other workers who battled to secure decent standards of living, not just for themselves and their families, but for all the generations of workers who came after them.
Wrong state I know but:
"The bosses drive in big cars while we walk in the mud.
Their banner is a dollar sign while ours is scribed with blood."
