Description
The plight of black sharecropping families after the Civil War is well known. Some former slaves managed to migrate to northern cities. Others migrated to the coalfields of West Virginia and found themselves in a situation former slave George Echols described: “I know the time when I was a slave and I feel just like we feel now.” Booker described the feeling of being a young boy lost and alone working in the dark underground caverns of Kanawha County mines.
This poster is from Bullpush Hollow #5C which continues Booker T. Washington’s account of working as a child miner. He described a constant fear of darkness, explosions, and slate falls.
