“[On union organizing in the '20s and '30s:] The women used their songs to organize coal mining families into the union. They were one of the most effective organizing tools because they captured the spiritual, emotional, and physical feelings of people who were dying of starvation while they fought some of the bloodiest battles union organizing has ever known.”
