Anthracite Insurgents Talk
January 24 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Professors Robert Wolensky and Thomas Mackaman will give a presentation about their new manuscript “Anthracite Insurgents.”
The volume deals with labor-management, labor-labor, and labor-government conflict in the northern anthracite coalfield (the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton areas). A particular focus is on a newly formed labor union, the United Anthracite Miners of Pennsylvania (1933-1935), which challenged both the coal companies and John L. Lewis and the United Mineworkers of America. The book is currently under review by Penn State University Press.
Mackaman will be here at the Museum in person while Wolensky will participate remotely via Zoom.
