| The South Charleston Museum - the LaBelle Theater - and the West Virginia Labor History Association will present at 7 p.m. today the premiere of Kelley Thompson's 55-minute film, "The Widen Project," which traces the story of Clay County's most famous strike.
The 1952 strike led to the slaying of one coal miner, the destruction of bridges and the departure from the state of West Virginia's leading coal operator, J.G. Bradley.
The Buffalo Girls from Clay County will present a reception at 6:30 p.m. and talk about their project to restore the Buffalo Creek & Gauley Railroad. Admission is $4.
The evening will have a second film, the 23-minute 2007 documentary "Mother Jones: The Most Dangerous Woman in America," by Northern Illinois University professors Rosemary Feurer and Laura Vazquez.
The film won First Place in the documentary division at the Geneva Cultural Arts Commission Film Festival.
