Anthony Sable has seen West Virginia go through some of its best and worst times.

Born in Wheeling, West Virginia, near the Appalachian foothills, Sable’s father worked in the mines just like his grandfather. Sable is a fourth-generation coal miner and proud of it. He’s been working underground for the past 20 years. On April 8, he was invited to the White House to stand behind President Donald Trump as he signed four executive orders to revive America’s coal industry.
