Workday Magazine's Isabela Escalona wrote about a very cool photography exhibit that's currently on display at St. Paul's East Side Freedom Library. “Archive in Motion: The ATU Workers of Metro Transit” collects film photos of union transit workers taken by Leslie Grant and Jeffrey Skemp and includes portraits of workers, still-life shots of the objects bus operators carry, the architecture, and scans of archival images. The photographers worked with ATU Local 1005 to connect with subjects, including Kira Ross, Metro Transit's first Black woman mechanic. “Archive in Motion" is on display through November 9; Grant and Skemp will speak at a free event on October 26.
