From an email, TD has information on an event in Morgantown next week that looks quite interesting:

On Wednesday, March 24th @ Noon, in the Davis Gallery, at the West Virginia University College of Law, the Democratic Law Caucus and the WVU Labor Law Society will be hosting an event to discuss the Battle of Blair Mountain, its importance in history, and the current state of the battle to get it placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Dr. Barbara Rasmussen, one of the lead historians regarding the Battle of Blair Mountain, will be speaking.

Food and refreshments will be provided courtesy of the Democratic Law Caucus.

Please come learn about one of the most important pieces of Labor & West Virginia History.

There's been a lot of accusations regarding the listing and delisting of Blair Mountain to the National Register of Historic Places. If you attend, let us know what Dr. Rasmussen's take on the controversy is.
