1 “What a gift of local knowledge elevated to universal truth.”
2 “It reminds me of migrant workers I knew on the west coast; this desire to blend into the background and hide. Thank you for bringing these wonderful people out of the shadows.”
3 “What a touching way to enter the lives so hidden from most of us in Ohio. Poignant photos. Informative text.”
4 “Thank you so much for opening my eyes to this amazing community to whom I owe such a debt of gratitude for the food I eat.”
5 “A moving exhibit. I enjoyed it so much, I brought my advanced Spanish students to experience it as well. Thank you for providing a wonderfully unique insight into the lives of these people to whom we are truly indebted. The richness of their culture is so beautifully depicted in the exhibit as well as the book. “
6 “Beautiful! I came to see it with few expectations. And if I had some, it would be that I expected many “hardship” shots. The truth is clear though. Your focus is clearly the people, the people, the people. I have never seen or heard of such positive portrayal of the immigrant. This should be seen on a national level. It can change people’s hearts.”
7 “As I have migrant grandparents, this exhibit moved me very much and hit very close to home. I hope that everyone can really appreciate the Mexican culture a little more after visiting here. Gracias!”
8 “I have lived across the street from the Hartville Migrant Center for 25 years. I love to watch all of the workers and their families through the “Growing Season.” There is always such a void when they leave. Thank you for capturing their lives with your story and pictures. Beautiful.”
9 “I loved the exhibit. For several years, I volunteered at Marlboro Elementary and enjoyed meeting the migrant children in kindergarten. They were such beautiful children.”
10 “This is a truly powerful show. It’s amazing that these stories and images are tucked away in the most familiar places, like Hartville. Congratulations on bringing these stories and pictures to the surface.”
11 “I am so proud of the people from Hartville, Canton, etc., for the help they have given the migrants. It shows how much can happen when one culture accepts and welcomes another. What a lesson.”
12 “I am also glad to see a local/regional exhibit being supported. It makes me feel more a part of the community. A wonderful project that tell me something I didn’t know about this place… We could use more of this sort of experience.”
13 “The show is exceptional in content and display. Both radiate love and understanding as well as respect for the subjects. It should be a traveling show.”
14 “This is my second visit – I told many friends to visit – just a great experience.”
15 “Finally, it’s about time!”
