Brown Lung Victims Form Carolina Brown Lung Association
In 1975 a group of retired textile workers formed the Carolina Brown Lung Association CBLA to raise awareness of byssinosis and support Workman's compensation claims.

The group cites diagnoses, long filing processes, and legal fees as ongoing hurdles and notes industry costs to clean mills while urging prompt action.
