Summary
Ten thousand coal miners clashed with law enforcement in the epic 1921 Battle of Blair Mountain—the largest labor uprising in U.S. history. Now, the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum is reviving this legacy with “Courage in the Hollers,” a community-driven project installing seven monuments along the miners’ 50-mile route, creating America’s largest labor history driving trail. Funded by grants and rooted in local voices, this effort honors the courage of those who marched from Charleston to Matewan, ensuring their story isn’t forgotten.
