How Black Were Our Valleys All profits from the sale of this book
go to 'The South Wales Area - Miners' Beneficiary Fund, ' which
helps ex-miners and their families both socially and medically. To
commemorate 30 years since the 1984/85 miners strike, we have
collected a variety of memories, stories, poems and events that
happened during that time. A law professor who helped the miners
with free legal advice, and also set up the Rhymney Valley Miners'
Support Group. An inspirational speech that led to the making of
this publication. Stories of hardship, solidarity, overcoming
prejudices and adversity add to the diversity of this collection.
Women who changed their outlook on life completely. The government
tactics used against the striking miners. Those who were just
children at the time and the impact it had on them when they were
growing up. The generosity of all those that came out in support of
the striking miners. What happened after the strike? Why did all
those mines have to close? The memories and accounts are personal,
these are the stories that didn't get to the mainstream media, but
are extremely important regardless, not just to the South Wales
Mining Community, but also to all those communities that were
involved .
