<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black; background-color: white;">In the 1930s, near Fayetteville, West Virginia, 5,000 workers traveled to the area to work on a hydroelectric dam project. Two-thirds of these workers were Black. An estimated
2,900 laborers worked underground to dig a three-mile tunnel while exposed to silica dust. Improper construction techniques allowed clouds of silica dust to overwhelm the workers, causing an estimated 764 deaths. This story is shallowly buried beneath the
West Virginia landscape, with very little to mark the incident. Thompson's presentation, "Appalachian Ghosts," is a visual re-examination of the Hawks Nest Tunnel Disaster.</span></p>
