About The Author
Hey, I’m Albert J. Thomas
Albert Jon Thomas II is a disabled Vietnam veteran whose health was affected by Agent Orange. During the Vietnam War, he served in ordnance and endured the TET Offensive. Beyond his military service, Albert has built a remarkable life shaped by cultural exploration and education.
With over 15 years of experience teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) across Europe and South America—primarily in Poland—Albert was honored as the best TESL teacher in the country. His passion for teaching reflects his deep commitment to cross-cultural understanding.
Albert was born and raised in the coal mining town of Filbert, Pennsylvania, where he grew up alongside his four siblings. His father, a coal miner, tragically lost his life in a mining accident in 1964. These early experiences of hardship and resilience would go on to shape much of Albert’s outlook on life.
About The Book
Men With Black Faces
Men With Black Faces: The Tears of the Human Worms is a raw and unflinching journey into the forgotten world of America’s coal miners. Written by Valentine J. Thomas and Albert J. Thomas II, the book brings to life the backbreaking work, the silent sacrifices, and the haunting resilience of men who spent their lives in the depths of the mines.
Through vivid storytelling and powerful imagery, the book reveals what it meant to grow up in coal towns—where childhood ended early, danger was constant, and families carried the burden of survival together. These are stories not only of labor and hardship, but also of courage, loyalty, and the enduring hope of people who refused to be broken by the darkness that surrounded them.
More than a historical account, Men With Black Faces is a tribute to those whose struggles shaped communities and whose voices were too often lost in the dust. It reminds us that behind every shadowed face is a story worth telling—and remembering.
Step into their world. Witness their truth. Carry their story forward.
