The “Typical American Families” exhibit at the Georgia State Capitol last Friday was a great success and a very touching experience. If you missed the exhibit, you can see photos from the event (Facebook Album), watch the video (youtube link), read the stories of the families (PDF), and see their beauty in pictures (facebook album)!

“I believe that the concept of “family” is ever evolving in the U.S. as well as around the world,” said Knight. “Lawmakers and the general public must adapt to make sure access to quality services and care is available and affordable for everyone. It is my hope that people viewing this exhibit will hold their biases and simply relate to the families in the images. I wanted to help elevate these stories in ways that can have meaningful impact on policies and these families’ daily lives.”
Georgia is home to all kinds of families. Public policy should reflect that diversity. Will you take 2 minutes to send an email to your legislator?
