A new exhibit from the National Archives, "Power & Light: Russell Lee's Coal Survey," opens March 16, 2024.
Russell Lee’s 1946 coal survey photographs tell the story of laborers who helped build the nation; a moment when the government took stock of their wellbeing; and a photographer who recognized their humanity.
