About the video
Hazel Dickens became an accomplished bluegrass performer at a time when the
genre was dominated by men. She is also an admired advocate for women's and
worker's rights. Along with fellow musician and friend Alice Gerrard, she
empowered countless female singers and musicians to succeed without
sacrificing integrity. In this performance, Dickens, herself the eighth of eleven
children born to a West Virginia mining family, pays homage to her home state.
