Culture or Circumstances?
Marlee Matlin has really got me thinking.
Now I am going to read census records with empathy.
I told a friend who is doing a one -place study
to be sure to extract that sanitorium/hospital.
But did I look for those gaps...
The silence in the records?
I've always tried to find the missing children
when there was a gap.
But Intentional Inclusion has opened my eyes.
What exactly did my family pass on
from generation to generation that was
kept in SILENCE?
Yes! How much indeed! Privacy and prejudgment were rampant in the past! Partly because they didn’t have the scientific knowledge of ‘why’ on so much of their lives. So they made up their own “reasons” for illnesses, rights to control, religious beliefs, ways to get ahead, and just make what they had to use keep them alive!
