      <image:title>Home - A note from our director</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Empowering people to tell their own stories is what I care deeply about. Photography, photojournalism in particular and writing are powerful weapons for self determination, empathy and understanding. This foundation has been 30 plus years in the making. My dream is deferred no longer. It is built on the love and respect that I have for all people who have struggled the hardest to live and be treated with dignity.” —Clarence Williams, Founder &amp; Director</image:caption>
