Title: The Appalachian Struggle: Past and Present
Description: A 1972 calendar published by the Appalachian Movement Press (AMP). AMP was an independent activist press based in Huntington, West Virginia, that published works about Appalachian history and culture as well as activist literature related to regional labor, coal, and the rights of mountain residents. This calendar highlights historic dates important to Appalachian struggle and resistance. For example, see the month of January for “W. Va. Miners Strike Protesting Yablonski Slaying” (January 6, 1960), the month of May for “Matewan Massacre, Mingo County, W. Va.” (May 19, 1920), and the month of December for “Monongah #6 Mine Explosion, 361 Killed (December 6, 1907). The calendar’s cover and each month features detailed illustrations by artist Malcolm Richards to illustrate “the concerns of the Appalachian Left” (Slifer, 2021).
