Power & Light: Russell Lee's Coal Survey - Exhibit Opens

Power & Light: Russell Lee's Coal Survey is an exhibition of photographs of coal communities by American documentary photographer Russell Lee. These images tell the story of laborers who helped build the nation, of a moment when the government took stock of their health and safety, and of a photographer who recognized their humanity.

Power & Light will be on exhibit in the Lawrence F. O'Brien Gallery in the National Archives Building in Washington, DC. Admission is free.
