Dr. Lou Martin of the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum and Chatham University speaks on immigrant workers, the UMWA, and the way they're reflected in the "Art of Labor: Off Our Walls" art exhibit.
In a program that mirrors current events, Dr. Lou Martin addresses the 19th century demonization of new immigrants working in our region’s coal fields. Throughout the 1800s, waves of immigrants made up the American working class, digging coal and toiling in factories. In reaction to the nativism and violence dividing workers, the United Mineworkers recognized the need to include immigrants in their organizing efforts.
Featuring introductions by Joe White, PhD, and Chris Mark, PhD mining engineer. This event took place at the “Labor and Art: Off Our Walls” exhibit at the Bost Building in Munhall on Feb 11, 2026.
