Description
We Sort of People by Leslie Tucker and Henry Horenstein is a poignant exploration of identity, community, and the complexities of American history. In 1997, journalist and writer Leslie Tucker invited photographer Henry Horenstein to document her investigation into the mysterious Wesort clan, whose roots stretched back to the founding of the first Catholic colony. As Tucker delved deeper into the family's story, she recorded conversations with the wise women of the clan, capturing their voices and experiences in a living archive. Meanwhile, Horenstein photographed the last generation of Proctors, preserving their world before it disappeared. This powerful project reveals the intricate realities of their lives through their own words, offering a nuanced portrayal of America's multiethnic heritage. Through this intimate and evocative work, Tucker and Horenstein shed light on the often-overlooked stories of America's diverse communities, inviting readers to reflect on the complexities of identity, family, and belonging.
