SUMMARY:In the Main Gallery: Heather Rousseau's Making it in America
DESCRIPTION:Southwest Virginia has become a vital place for those seeking safety and a new beginning for decades. In recent years\, our region has welcomed hundreds of neighbors—from Afghan families following the 2021 withdrawal and Ukrainians escaping invasion\, to Latino families who are navigating the complexities of shifting national policies. \nThis project is the culmination of five years of visual journalism and a two-year fellowship with The Secular Society. Through in-depth reporting for The Roanoke Times\, photojournalist Heather Rousseau has sought to document not just the challenges of displacement\, but the resilience of the human spirit. While many newcomers arrive with nothing\, they bring an indomitable determination to contribute and thrive.
