GLENVILLE, WV - On Tuesday, August 21 Wess Harris will visit ÏãåúÖ±²¥ State College as a part of the ongoing "We, too, are Appalachia" project. The series of performances and presentations, made possible by ÏãåúÖ±²¥ State College and the West Virginia Humanities Council, are an exploration of identity and place regarding rural West Virginia.

The first 20 audience members to arrive will receive a free copy of "When Miners March," a collection of William C. Blizzard's journalism on the West Virginia mine wars, edited by Harris.
The "We, too, are Appalachia" project is presented with financial assistance from the West Virginia Humanities Council, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
