Mountain Talk Monday Every Tuesday!

In September 2018 the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum hosted a Strike Supper. Their goals were: to bring people in the museum doors to learn more about the rich legacy of labor organizing in the area, and, to work towards busting the myth of Appalachia as a culturally and racially homogeneous region. They did this by exploring and celebrating the diverse cultural histories of Southern WV through food. Folks from near and far gathered to share dishes from the region, and while they shared food they also shared stories of personal family histories, immigration to and from the area in the 1900s, and the rich cultural legacies of the Southern Appalachian coalfields. In this episode we'll hear some of those stories. To learn more about the WV Mine Wars Museum visit www.wvminewars.com.
