Image Description: | Blair, West Virginia - Hundreds of people marched 50 miles through the West Virginia coal fields to Blair Mountain in opposition to the coal-mining technique known as mountaintop removal, in which the tops of mountains are sliced off to get at the underlying coal. Blair Mountain, site of a historic 1921 battle between coal miners and the industry's hired gunmen, is now threatened with mountaintop removal. |
