  • A road map for resistance

    A fantastically reported and told story. I couldn’t wait to hear each episode. The tenacity of those who fought to oust the corrupt labor bosses of the coal miners union remind us today that fighting to end corruption can have terrible consequences, but the fight is ultimately worth it to protect the many over the greed of the few. Thank you for sharing this story.
