I have done all I can to offer the homeowners of Northeast Philadelphia, where the housing project once stood, a glimpse into the life of one public housing family. I did this with the Liddonfielders series posted on the blog. Portraying it through the eyes of a young girl was a vehicle to inspire compassion, understanding and empathy at least for the children, if not also for the adults who lived in the project. The series was also intended to portray that we are complex individuals with an infinite range of human emotions, weaknesses, strengths, triumphs and downfalls. It was meant to convey that public housing residents are not a one-note stereotype or a statistic, or nameless, faceless strangers for others to fear, hate or objectify.
