So love those who stood up for the injustice’ that caused the injustice of our fellow Workers who made made the sacrifice for their families and fellow Workers!
Journalist and miners’ advocate Tom Bethell began investigating the causes of the 1972 Buffalo Creek Flood in Logan County, WV in the immediate aftermath. Later, as Research Director for the United Mine Workers, he shared his findings, helping to shape our 1975 documentary "The Buffalo Creek Flood: An Act of Man.” The following year, when the Scotia Mine Disaster occurred, Tom was once again ready to heroically lend his expertise to discover what happened and why.
Thank you, Tom, for standing with coal miners and working people everywhere. We miss you, friend.
