As the Legislature convened for a special session, over 120 coalfield
residents -- including people who have lost relatives to accidents with coal
trucks -- retired miners, labor leaders, activists and concerned citizens converged on the state
capitol for a prayer vigil on overweight coal trucks.
Reverends Jim Lewis and Jeff Allen led the vigil, while West
Virignia Organizing
Project's Elaine Purkey led the singing. Many folks stepped up to "testify."
