Visual Artist, Activist Martha Tabor Dies at 64 washingtonpost
Ms. Tabor held various jobs before she began to pursue art as a profession. In the 1960s, she taught English composition and literature at Frederick Community College. She took up welding in the 1970s and joined the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America.
She was hired to work on the construction of the Metro system and became active as a union organizer. It was about this time that she started taking pictures of her fellow laborers and became a social activist. She documented antiwar protests and civil rights marches as her photography gradually turned into a freelance business by the late 1970s.------------------------------------------- posted 7:52 PM :: reference link ::
