outdoor mural, 2020, 17 x 21 feet, located at Buxton and Landstreet Gallery, Thomas, West Virginia
Carrie Williams: Saint of Coketon is a historical mural completed by both Printz and Roby-Tomic on the back of Buxton & Landstreet Gallery, the site of a former coal company store in the Coketon Mining Camp in Thomas, West Virginia. Carrie Williams was a black teacher in Coketon teaching segregated black students of miners in the late 19th century. After her school year and salary were cut due to racism, she hired the first black lawyer in West Virginia, JR Clifford, who took the case to the West Virginia Supreme Court and won, an early victory for pre-Jim Crow Appalachia.
