"In my opinion, it is the most beautiful and relevant photographic
exhibit on W.Va. coal miners I have ever seen! Dotter’s wonderful color
photographs of contemporary W.Va. coal miners compared to 1948 historic
black and white photos is the perfect visual event we need after the
current mine disasters. The show will be sent to Harvard for its showing
in April and possibly return to Logan. It is a landmark artistic event."
