Social Justice Movements in Virginia

Collected by: William & Mary

Archived since: Jan, 2019

Description:

This collection seeks to document the community based social movements across the entirety of Virginia. Virginians organize themselves in a variety of ways, but this collection focuses on community organizations specifically. Community organizing is understood to exclude political campaigns and labor union struggles and instead encompasses neighbors fighting for their community and groups of people mobilizing around their common identities.

Title: Thoughts of a Coal Miner: Five Generations and a Bit of Common Sense

URL: https://thoughtsofacoalminer.com/

Description: "I started this blog in 2010 with the hope of finding common ground between coal miners and environmental justice advocates. Over the years it became a sounding board for my personal views on the cultural, economic, and political complexities I encountered as I forged a new life for my family. At some point I stopped pulling any punches and began telling it like it is. There’s good and bad on both sides of the debate, but one thing is for sure, folks on both sides are going to have to find more common sense if we’re ever going to see any chance for a just transition and a better future."
