These pictures have the power to unleash personal memory" When I saw the show at the High I was indeed moved, flooded with personal revelations pertaining to a childhood in Dawson, GA in the late 70's - mid 80's. This show gave some important and previously unknown context to my life as a white southerner. It also validated deeply felt values that have developed in me as a result of who and where I came from. I am grateful for the hard work and vision of Julian Cox and his team. My fingers are crossed for the archive to continue to be shared across Georgia. “I think a good percentage were moved and inspired by the material.
