Morgantown folks! Join us this evening for a screening of "King Coal" and conversation with award-winning director Elaine McMillion Sheldon. Doors open at 6:30pm and screening at 7pm in G20 Ming Hsieh Hall on the downtown campus. Free and open to the public. No tickets required.

Along w/ @rosecasey.bsky.social & @jessiew.bsky.social, I’m honored that our open letter was the second most read piece @bostonreview.bsky.social in 2023. We’re grateful for everyone’s support. I hope you’ll support BR. They don’t have a paywall: that’s why why our letter could be so widely read.

I'll be giving the keynote this evening at the exhibit opening of "Women Making History," which includes the stories of women coal miners and how they organized. You can tour the exhibit starting at 5pm, remarks at 6pm. exlibris.lib.wvu.edu/news/2023/10...

The Waffle House is so much more than a chain of diners in the South. It’s an ad hoc social support system and a beloved institution. That labor organizing has come to Waffle House feels like real social change to me. Remarkable.

Looking forward to this!
