My self-imposed assignment is to make the State Street community real and visible. I want to show the world that the discarded people on State Street are human beings with the same emotions, needs, and problems that everyone else has. I want to convince the Madison establishment that The Family deserves help, or at least tolerance. By the way, this picture isn't of me, this is a street person photographer.
        Remember the phrase, "There but for the Grace of God go I". Remember that the average American family is one paycheck away from homelessness.
