GLENVILLE, WV - On Tuesday, August 21 Wess Harris will visit Glenville State College as a part of the ongoing "We, too, are Appalachia" project.

The first 20 audience members to arrive will receive a free copy of "When Miners March," a collection of William C. Blizzard's journalism on the West Virginia mine wars, edited by Harris.

The "We, too, are Appalachia" project is presented with financial assistance from the West Virginia Humanities Council, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
