Atlas Steel Casting (Working People series) 1987

"Atlas Steel Casting (Working People series)" is a 1987 black and white photograph by Milton Rogovin. The image shows an African American family posed in a modest living room, showcasing the everyday lives of working-class families in Buffalo, New York. Rogovin's "Working People" series, which began in the 1960s, sought to capture the dignity and resilience of those often overlooked by mainstream society. This series is a testament to Rogovin's commitment to social realism, using photography as a tool to shed light on social issues and the lives of ordinary people.
