The Story of Humanizing the Homeless
Unhoused: Personal Stories and Public Health confronts the crisis of housing insecurity in America through the lens of public health and centers the voices of those experiencing homelessness in sharing their stories.
This special exhibition is anchored by stark yet intimate black and white portraiture from Toronto-based photographer Leah den Bok as well as a monumental artwork from Dallas-based artist Willie Baronet, whose installation is composed of hundreds of cardboard signs the artist has purchased over the past thirty years from people experiencing homelessness.
This short film by Cullen Blanchfield encapsulates the story behind Leah den Bok's work and the exhibition.

Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason. There is a lot of truth to them. Grow up, young lady.
Thank you for your beautiful work with its important goal.
I was in Philadelphia this past weekend and visited the Mütter Museum. This exhibit is very powerful. Thank you.
This makes me think of the wonderful book "The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper" by Hallie Rubenhold which focuses on women devastated by poverty, by alcohol dependence, and by a system which considered any impoverished woman to be sexually degenerate by default despite no evidence of this.
"Mother" Teresa was a monster that delighted in the suffering of others. She siphoned away what little poor people had to the coffers of the catholic church. She created houses of suffering for the poor. She was a sadistic monster.
This is absolutely beautiful! Blessings to all involved. 🙏😇🙏

44:56 To be clear, 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘯𝘰, this is not the first building named after an African American in the city. There was the Douglas Hospital already serving the Black community opened in 1895 (as discussed in this very presentation at timepoint 23:44). It is stated that the Frederick Douglas Memorial Hospital at 1530-1534 Lombard St. was "named in honor of the great abolitionist [Douglas] and founded by Dr. Nathan Mossell who was the first African American graduate of the Penn Medical School ... he founded the hospital in 1895 to provide medical care to the Black community. And training, that was also very important for doctors and nurses who were excluded elsewhere." As for the second assertion, this too would not be the first building primarily known and memorialized primarily due to its association with a Black woman. The "[Jacob] Albright House" built in 1858 and historically designated in 1978 officially has since its construction been colloquially known as the "Betsy Ross House". The association is tenuous and merely due to Albright and Ross's granddaughter marrying in 1840 and his being one of the eventual building's original owners when later built. However given it has maintained that association lthough not historically marked and a tenuous connection due only to her granddaughter, Rachel Wilson, in 1840 marrying the owner of the structure built in 1858 known as the "[Jacob] Albright House" constructed in 1858. Given it was constructed and associated with a Black woman 96 years before the Marian Anderson Recreation Center, this also is from a later era where Black women's contributions were also being memorialized for posterity. When I was a young child (in the 1980s), my father (a former Philadelphia police officer) noted the Marian Anderson Recreation Center and its significance as a public pool that served the Black community. The importance and significance of a such a rec center was lost on me at the time. Only with the recent recognition of these sites by Heather McGhee in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘜𝘴: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘙𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘮 𝘊𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘞𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘛𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 did I come to see how significant accessible and integrated public works serving the Black community were. The Mütter might help acknowledge that message through a focus on differing aspects of medical racism ranging from the unethical, nonconsensual, and invasive experimentation, anthropometry, and medical biases and fears rooted unfairly in racist beliefs about human health and disease from wrong headed beliefs about pain tolerance, intelligence, and atavistic, eugenic beliefs, through racist and xenophobic beliefs as Irish, Chinese, Italian, and Black folks moved to the city and their "dirtiness" compared to the "sanitation" societies only recently adopted in Western medicine comparatively centuries behind Eastern sanitation and medical practice at the time, mid-century examples including Great Society developments like Medicaid/Medicare compared to poorhouses, the development of global disease eradication efforts such as the Peace Corps (in which my mother participated), "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome", Tuskegee, Lacks, and the extremely timely reemergence of racialized medical discrimination in renal dialysis and transplantation (which I have extensive experience with), AI-induced medical racism (such as by Optum in its development of hospital stay algorithms fir United Healthcare), and the debate over gametes, hormones, chromosomes, or collective emergent social roots of gender and sex. As a medical researcher and a newly minted X-gendered Philadelphian, I have direct personal knowledge of these later issues and advocating within an insurer for the elimination of trans exclusionary policies and my family has extensive knowledge to share. Regarding Devil's Pocket, the pocketwatch story is what rings bells for me, and it should be noted that the Devil's Pocket was historically a extremely insular Irish neighborhood through much of the 20th century. My father tells a story of a police officer who found himself isolated there drawing his weapon defensively while guarding a Black (possibly suburban) family who had parked their car there with the intention of walking over the South Street Bridge to attend the Penn Relays. Googling it now I find no mention of this incident, but in my recollection local residents menaced the officer and family until reinforcements arrived responding to a radio call. Due to the neighborhood's configuration it is extremely difficult with Philly's one-way network for any vehicular traffic let alone emergency services to navigate that area. I can ask Dad for details on this event as well. Hell, maybe you can help us locate the Black man my father delivered (I believe in a taxicab) as a police officer. His mother was unable to get to a hospital to deliver the child while on patrol in the early 1960s. After the delivery, the mother asked my father his name and declared her newborn would be named "Xxxxxxxx Yyyyy" where Xxxxxxxx was our very Italian surname and the child's last name was the mother's more typically Black surname. I have looked in the past without success. Oh also, Frank Bender as an advisor to the Philadelphia police dept and his innovative artistic techniques which used the very problematic anthropometry earlier mentioned to help guide him in rendering sculptural possible likenesses of victims of unsolved crimes. Bender was a family friend and as a child my father and he would get together regularly including in his studio (not far from Devil's Pocket in fact) where he worked. Speaking to that, Dad also helped found and educate in the use of polygraphy and its use as an investigative and pre-employment tool, a practice that was reinstated after a brief stoppage and remains in use to qualify or disqualify Philadelphia police applicants today. That also raises the specter of his Vidocq involvements, the recently solved "boy in the box" mystery and the stubbornly unsolved death of Nizah Morris and her missing homocide investigative file. Please reach out about any and all of this, we would be honored to discuss any of it. ~ (two one five) Phil six eight one Cochetti three two two six .

Excellent but very much spoiled by the dreadful music which drowns out the voices .
4:25 everybody gets that part wrong. Every doctor put their ear up to a woman's chest to listen to their heart at that time. The reason he didn't was because that woman that he was looking at was particularly gross lol
It seems like these medicated machines, like all meds just worsen one’s condition. Just wish folks knew about vegan and plant based diets.

Seriously, homeless people should not stay away from a Dr and getting medication. There are free clinics. Zoloft name brand NO GENERIC saved me. Please don't be afraid to get help with head meds 🌹✝️🌹
Through no fault of my own, I was homeless for 10 years. I was 19, a mother of 3, and taking care of a disabled mother. I was evicted because I was an unwed teen mother. I spent a lot of time couchsurfing. I lost my kids a year later. They grew up in foster care because no one would rent to me because of the eviction and because I lost the court case to appeal the eviction (The lawyer told me to just not show up to court making it an automatic loss) My kids were subjected to so much trauma in foster care, they developed severe and persistent mental illnesses. I was given the opportunity to have a home again by a wonderful human and my life was mostly restored. My kids are still estranged from me sadly. Because of a group of religious a**holes, I lost it all.
If you have the opportunity to go to the Mütter Museum I highly recommend going. After seeing the place on the Discovery Channel and similar channels for many years, actually seeing it with my own eyes, in person, was wonderful. Seeing this exhibit was an added bonus. Thanks for all you do.
I love this idea! I worked with homeless veterans for several years. I wish there was a way to view the exhibit virtually.
I really don’t feel like that had enough time paid to it. It looks like a Venetian blind that red like a card catalog, but should’ve been red like it was placed out in a long table. I want to know what it says on the table. Everything that is written is written away thatis giving favor to the writer because of the writing instrument. I really want to know what is on those pages.😊
OK this video is nine years old but I am a non-medical interested party and I want to visit this museum. I really want a docent to give me every story along the way. This is all too fascinating and horrifying to not have a story or what would’ve caused the necrotizing fasciitis. Was it syphilis? Was it taken in the face? Was it a trip to Africa and a snake bite? I love whatever you are presenting, so keep them coming even though you’re nine years too late or I am nine years too early.
As someone who is low-vision, I had hoped that there would've been audio description. The music is pretty, though.
95% ethanol (190 proof grain alcohol) , white vinegar, and glycerin makes for a much better fixative
