In this episode of "Resistance in Focus," we explore the Battle of Blair Mountain, one of the largest and most significant labor uprisings in American history. Taking place in 1921 in the coalfields of West Virginia, this monumental struggle saw approximately 10,000 coal miners rise against oppressive working conditions and exploitative labor practices enforced by powerful coal companies. Join us as we examine the historical context of this fierce conflict, detailing the key moments and actions that defined the Battle of Blair Mountain. We'll explore the legacy of this pivotal event, which highlighted the urgent need for labor reforms and laid the groundwork for future workers' rights movements.
