From the early day of mining in colonial Virginia and Maryland up to the time of World War II, blacks were an important part of the labour force in the coal industry. Yet in this, as in other enterprises, their role has heretofore been largely ignored. Roland L. Lewis redresses the balance in this comprehensive history of black coal miners in America.
