Everybody Was Black Down There: Race and Industrial Change in the Alabama Coalfields
Robert H. Woodrum
In 1930, African Americans made up 53 percent of the mining workforce in Alabama. At the close of the twentieth century, only about 15 percent of Birmingham's miners were black. This work offers an interpretation of why this dramatic decline occurred and why it happened during an era of strong union presence in the Alabama coalfields.
