[edit]DescriptionThis building in the distressed Appalachian Mountains town of Kimball in southern West Virginia is unusual for two reasons- The town's World War Memorial, it is one of a few large memorials, as LCCN2015634406.tif |
English: Title: This building in the distressed Appalachian Mountains town of Kimball in southern West Virginia is unusual for two reasons: The town's World War Memorial, it is one of a few large memorials, as opposed to statues, to those who served in World War I, which its builders assumed would be THE one and only world war. Secondly, the building, designed in 1927 by West Virginia architect Hassell T. Hicks, was dedicated a year later specifically to African-American veterans of the "Great War." African-Americans represented as much as 35 percent of the workforce in McDowell County coal mines, with 1,500 volunteering for service in World War I
