Portraits of My Neighbors is a documentation of the Voices of Lefferts Community Writing Project.

"Voices of Lefferts creates a space for PLG residents to put into practice the credo of the 1930's Federal Writers' Project which set out to 'introduce Americans to America' in the context of one Brooklyn neighborhood through portraits, interviews, and local histories", Deborah Mutnick, Project Director

This on-going series features portraiture of the writers published in that journal. I follow the authors around their homes, on the streets of Flatbush, and to local markets, churches, and parks while they tell me their stories: how and when they got here and why this is home.
