DESCRIPTION:Please join the CFS Department in welcoming Michael Nobel Kline
 \, PhD and Carrie Nobel Kline\, MA\, as they share their ethnographic resea
 rch from Mount Hope\, West Virginia in a session titled Color\, Class and C
 oal: Spoken Narratives on Education\, Work and Community Life in Mount Hope
 \, West Virginia. The event will take place as part of the CFS Department’s
  Fall Colloquium Series on October 15th from 3:00-4:30 in the Student Union
 \, room 169.\n\nGains and losses are substantial in stories of Mount Hope\,
  West Virginia’s 1956 consolidation of black and white schools. Lifelong re
 lationships are forged among students across color lines\, just as their fa
 thers formed bonds among themselves as European immigrants\, African Americ
 ans and native whites deep in underground mines. Yet hidden truths prevail 
 in this layered story of race and class in a West Virginia coal town in the
  1950s-’70s\, recounted by alumni 50 years later in an exercise of truth an
 d reconciliation. Hear recorded voices from Michael and Carrie Kline’s Talk
 ing Across the Lines podcast recalling school integration\, football\, chee
 rleading\, and the ongoing presence of coal mining\, amplified by the ethno
 graphers’ reflections and punctuated by live Appalachian music.\n\nMichael 
 and Carrie Kline have been chronicling the history and culture of Appalachi
 a for forty years\, Michael with a Ph.D in Folklore from Boston University 
 and Carrie an M.A. in American Studies from SUNY/Buffalo. The Klines operat
