About The Exhibit:
The photo exhibit is entitled “In Our Family” and is a series of portraits
of twenty families.  Beautiful family photographs are accompanied by written
interviews from the point of view of the kids, the parents, and all the family
members.  “In Our Family” is part of a series of traveling exhibits created
by The Family Diversity Project of Amherst, MA.  Photos by Gigi Kaeser and
interviews by Peggy Gillespie and Rebekah Boyd.  Their exhibitions have been in
schools, universities, churches, temples, corporate offices and museums all
over the world, winning awards and praise everywhere for its beautiful
celebration of family in every sense of the word.

Bringing this renowned exhibition to Arlington was a major accomplishment
spear-headed by Lonna Davis and Charlotte Milan, two Arlington parents
interested in giving the community the opportunity to see for themselves this
interactive exploration of what family means today.  The Safe Schools Task Force
(SSTF) immediately embraced the project, and in short order numerous groups
including the Human Rights Commission, The Metco Program, Vision 2020,  The Gay
Straight Alliance at the High School, and The Bishop and Thompson Schools PTO’s
joined up as supporters to bring the exhibit to Arlington.
