Are you watching American Experience on PBS? 🤔

Recently we've been making better use of our WQED PBS Passport and have been watching some fabulous shows. There is so much available - and this one - brought to my attention by Cathi Nelson of The Photo Managers - ties nicely to my professional work.

Organizing family photos, both digital and paper, marries my favorite activity (organizing!) with my interest in technology and ridding the world of digital chaos. (Checked your phone reel lately? 😉)

This episode of American Experience brings a third passion into the mix: social justice. This PBS feature looks at the power of photography to tell stories, preserve identity, and stand against oppression. It reminds us that photos are more than images. They can be powerful tools of memory, resilience, and change. This episode provides a moving reminder of why the photos we keep and share with each other truly matter.

Check it out.

My thanks to Cathi for sharing this with me.
