Antiwar politics surged through mining villages. Draft resistance flared. State and federal troops occupied communities not only to enforce conscription\, but to suppress strikes and labor organizing as wartime pro fits flooded the region.\n\nThis program explores the Coal Region’s divi ded home front - where patriotism\, profit\, coercion\, and class conflict collided beneath the shadow of the coal breaker and the American flag.\n\ nJake Wynn is a public historian and tourism marketing professional.

Lucas was an underground anthracite miner in the South ern Anthracite Coal Field in the west end of Schuylkill County from the la te 1960's to the early 2000's.  He was known as a tough underground miner with a heart of gold.  He had a unique sense of humor and provided pizza sales when someone was in need.  Underground Anthracite Coal mining was his passion and joy of life.  He worked in the coal mines all of his life up until the early 2000's and advanced from a laborer to a coal mine owne r.  He died in 2019 of a horrific car accident.  He had made several "ho me made" movies of his coal mining.  The movies are a unique way to see t he life of an underground anthracite miner and learn about the various ope rations that need to be done to mine anthracite coal underground.  The mo vies show how underground anthracite mining is still done today although t here are few anthracite deep mines remaining.\n\n \;\n\nThe event is a t the Pine Grove Movie Theater on January 31st. at 2:00 pm.
