There is no way to describe this interactive event other than to tell you to see it somewhere. Based on a book by Charles McCollester, illustrations by Bill Yund and music available on a CD by Mike Stout, it is a slide show with local celebs in front of the scenes: reading quotes from miners, capitalists, workers for workers, etc etc. The program book conclused by saying the show tell Pittsburgh story in a new way, focusing on its people, its sense of justice and its hard-working spirit. Amen. The conference was coordinated by Nick Coles and Charles McCollester, and brought together academics and workers who all want to share what they know about working class history, spirit, people.
