Oral Truths - Voices from the West Virginia Mine Wars
As told by Charley and Lettie O'Neal on Cabin Creek, West Virginia
Lovingly called Momaw and Popaw
Welcome to Oral Truths
Everywhere Jeana has a chance to speak about the coal mine wars and her great grandparents, she does. The generational struggle for human rights, justice, and dignity for all is still ongoing. Jeana knows that without telling intergenerational truth each successive generation forgets what the prior one achieved.
