Today is the anniversary of the 1968 Mannington/Farmington mine disaster. 78 miners killed in an underground explosion, their bodies couldnt be brought out and were sealed inside. In working with Mimi Pickering as she edited her film about Hazel Dickens, I spent hours with footage of news coverage of this disaster. The grieving, fearful faces of families with men inside. Hazels song captures the horror and injustice of this disaster and every one that has followed. How can God forgive you, you do know what youve done. Youve killed my husband, now you want my son.
