NOTES
A Black girl and a white boy peer out the windows of a Greyhound bus at a station in Pittsburgh. Esther Bubley, a photographer for the FSA and its successor, the Office of War Information, took road trips via the Greyhound bus system to produce her work, contrasting with more-automobile-reliant FSA photographers. Bubley was only 22 years old when she set off from Washington, DC, on her first bus trip. The Iron City Beer advertised on the billboard above the bus remains a Pittsburgh mainstay.
