Reporting on Jim Crow KY is what drove Alice Dunnigan to become an activist journalist. But even after she became the first Black female reporter at the White House, Congress & SCOTUS officials wouldn't answer her in press conferences. Happy birthday, Alice. Your work lives on.
We are excited to have Coaltown Dixie at #Seedtime2024! They are a celebrated all-female bluegrass band from the Appalachian hills of East Kentucky, known for their dynamic fusion of traditional roots and modern vibrancy. See them June 1! Learn more at appalshop.org/seedtime

In 1972 a coal-waste dam owned by the Pittston Company collapsed at the head of a crowded hollow in southern West Virginia. A wall of sludge and water tore through the valley below, leaving in its wake 125 dead and 4,000 homeless. Watch the full film here:loom.ly/C_LCPPw
This happened when I was young, but I remember it. I’m guessing because my parents talked about it. My mom grew up in a coal camp so it probably struck close to home for her at the time.
In 1972 a Pittston Company coal-waste dam collapsed. Sludge, debris, and water tore through the valley below, leaving in its wake 125 dead and 4,000 homeless. The Pittston Company, however, continued to deny any wrongdoing, maintaining that the disaster was an “act of God."
