- Maurice_Ruddick abstract "Maurice A Ruddick (1912–1988) was an Afro-Canadian miner and a survivor of the 1958 Springhill Mining Disaster, an underground earthquake, or "bump" as the miners call it, in the Springhill mine in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. "If it wasn't for Maurice, they'd all have been dead." The Governor of the State of Georgia, Marvin Griffin, invited nineteen of the survivors to vacation at one of his state's luxurious resorts, Jekyll Island, usually reserved for millionaires. When he discovered that one of the miners was black, Griffin said that Ruddick would have to be segregated from the others. When the miners heard this, they were reluctant to accept the offer, but Ruddick agreed to go on the Governor's terms, knowing how much the others really wanted the vacation.[citation needed] Ruddick, his wife, and the four of his twelve children who accompanied him on the trip all stayed in a separate area of the island, in trailers built by Griffin especially for the occasion, and attended separate ceremonies from the white miners.Maurice Ruddick died in 1988. He is buried in Hillside Cemetery.His daughter, folk singer Val MacDonald, later recorded a song that he composed in the mine, "The Springhill Mine Disaster Song."He was featured in a Canadian Heritage Minute.".
