I'm grateful to Shelley for sharing this. Now I realize how little I really got out into the neighborhood

 

These pictures are amazing and so is the text, written by a good-hearted man with an artist's eye.

 

I want to make one comment. The author called both white and black people's visceral reaction to the image of the black man hugging the little white girl racist. I disagree. The creep factor isn't racism. The expression on the girl's face makes me think he was a pimp. The picture nauseated me. Learning how much trafficking goes on has made me more aware.

 

There are many stories in those pictures,aren't there? 

 

Thank you again, Shelley.

 

Blessings,

Jann McGuire
