The Dekalb History Center celebrates over 150 years of community caregiving in a new exhibition, “Home: The United Methodist Children’s Home.” The show documents photography, oral histories and audio testimonials from former residents, employees and volunteers throughout the Home’s years of operation in Decatur.
In this interview, Beate Sass, the photographer and documentarian who contributed to the exhibit, as well as Moira Bucciarelli, who provided interview assistance along their journey to capture this little-known chapter of Decatur history, speak with “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes, about the exhibit.
“We pretty quickly realized that this historic home was at a crossroads, and we didn’t know what it would become,” Bucciarelli said.
