“America in Motion offers a small glimpse into the lives of often overlooked laborers, stories of pride, adversity, and the bonds that unite all workers. The full work is inhabited by characters from all walks of life, including miners, mothers, farmers, factory workers, railroad workers, and more. We explore the obstacles they face, the joys they experience, and the echoes of their stories today.”
