The second SOLIDARITY portrait is complete!
Community members came out to the April First Saturday Market at West Edge Factory to paint Frank Keeney. Frank was born in Cabin Creek, WV, and began a dangerous mining job at the age of TEN. He would later become President of District 17 United Mine Workers after helping Mother Jones organize the mine workers in Cabin Creek when no one else would.
