Photographer LaToya Ruby Frazier (born 1982) grew up in Braddock, PA, a borough in the American Rust Belt ravaged by the steel-industry crisis that hit the US during the Reagan administration.

Testimonies gathered by Frazier from the former miners and their families have resulted in And from the Coaltips a Tree Will Rise , an extensive collection of portraits, landscapes and still lifes.
