How long can we ignore these broken segments of our population and at what cost?

Humane Exposures creates compelling books that shine revealing light on homelessness, incarceration, and the legacy of childhood neglect.

"Lankford's leadership and work help us all to identify the emotional and psychological cycles that pass from generation to generation."

—Dave Pelzer, author of the international bestsellers: A Child Called "It" and The Lost Boy

Our Mission

To take a penetrating look at the needs and challenges of society's disenfranchised-the denizens of our streets, the emotionally and physically incarcerated, children in juvenile hall and in unsettled homes.

To encourage public awareness of the causes that underlie the destructive cycles plaguing these populations, including the abuse and neglect that cycle through generations; to underscore that the economic burden on society is lightened when these issues are addressed. To use photography, books, film, education, and advocacy to increase understanding and engender humane response.
