Salgado's dedication reads "...to all the children who look at these photographs and are moved to think about the lives behind the faces"; would that this kind of exercise was an inherent part of our educational system. Perhaps then, empathy would hold a high place in our world culture.

I just finished the book, red-eyed, with a knot in my throat and that fire in the belly that strips you to the bare essential of life, knowing all too well that we still do living wrong.
