The Diner Project exhibition comprises forty-one black-and-white photographs taken in East Cambridge, Massachusetts, between 1974 and 1977—a time in American labor history when a blue-collar job could support a family and was yours for a lifetime.
Enter and meet the staff and regulars of Russ’s Kitchenette Diner, a tightly knit community that embraced joy and laughter in the face of encroaching urban renewal, shifting race relations, and upheaval in America’s place in the world.
