We try and keep language neutral in journalism.

The President said kids were getting loaded up with “80 different shots.” Let’s just sit with that one for a moment.

I completely understand about the photo and licensing fee issues. And thank you for your kind words about my photo.

I’m glad you tracked Curtis down and interviewed him. He’s a thoughtful man who,despite all the hoopla about the photo, hopes that viewers focus on what’s happening at the Broadview ICE facility and its impact on families and communities.

Thanks for explaining, I was so confused when I saw Joshua’s photo attached to it.

The photo they chose to place on their story was from WAPO/Getty Image.

You’re very observant. When I took the photo of Curtis, I didn’t even see the sign on the ground. I just remember swinging my camera around and there he was, a quiet/solitary moment walking through gas in the middle of lots of conflict and noise.

Thank you

In my own words with insight from

Curtis Evans.
