Currently on display in University of Washington’s Odegaard Undergraduate Library (Jan. 3rd-Jan. 30th), “The Missing Story of Ourselves” is an exhibit of museum quality framed color photographs and narratives created by women and men who either are, or were, poor parents and students changing their lives through the pathway of higher education in the United States. The exhibit is designed to share honest and compelling stories that are all too absent from the contemporary debate about poverty and the poor in America. The images and first-person narratives are reflections of low-income, non-traditional students and parents. The exhibit was developed by the ACCESS Project at Hamilton College. It challenges misrepresentations of the poor, and raises questions about outcomes of welfare reform that denies opportunities for advancement through education.

Plan to attend a public lecture on the exhibit: “Reclaiming Our Stories: Poverty and the Promise of Higher Education.”
