I don't use the word hero too lightly, but Charles Howard of Kentucky is one.
He has black lung but he continues to work in coal mines, and he continues to blow the whistle -- and be vindicated -- for unsafe working conditions for himself and his fellow miners. He is not some "movement" nerd with no skin in the game; he continues to work in, and will probably die from, Kentucky's coal mines.
All you who purport to be for the working man, for the Little Guy, should bow your heads in homage to this real man.
