SEE PHOTO(s) - COMPLETE ORIGINALNEWSPAPER,theBenningtonWeekly Banner & Reformer(VT) datedMay 20, 1925.This original newspaper contains a prominentfront page heading: "TWO SHOT DEAD WHEN NEGR0ESCOMETO POLLS." This has a 1/2 columnfront page news report of Whitesin Williamson, WEST VIRGINIAtrying to stop Blacks from voting in that election, 100 years ago. This took place in Logan County, the site of the 1921 Battle of Blair Mountain, the largsetlabor uprising in the US.

Wilkinson is an unincorporated community in Logan County, West Virginia. Logan County is a county in the U.S. state of West Virginia. The Battle of Blair Mountain was the largest labor uprising in United States history and is the largest armed uprising since the American Civil War. The conflict occurred in Logan County, West Virginia, as part of the Coal Wars, a series of early-20th-century labor disputes in Appalachia.

For five days from late August to early September 1921, some 10,000 armed coal miners confronted 3,000 lawmen and strikebreakers (called the Logan Defenders) who were backed by coal mine operators during the miners' attempt to unionize the southwestern West Virginia coalfields when tensions rose between workers and mine management. The battle ended after approximately one million rounds were fired, and the United States Army, represented by the West Virginia Army National Guard led by McDowell County native William Eubanks, intervened by presidential order.
