Bancroft award-winning historian Thomas G. Andrews will present "Killing for Coal: America's Deadliest Labor War" on September 15th, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at UNL's Great Plains Art Museum, 1155 Q St. His talk is free and open to the public. Based on his book of the same name, "Killing for Coal," will probe the dependency on and "centricity" of Coal in the 19th and early 20th century American West and the role of workplace environments in shaping mineworkers' social and political consciousness in conjunction with the 1914 Colorado Coal Mining stike and massacre. Andrews is an associate professor of history at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
