Photojournalist Peter Turnley arrived at the site of the World Trade Center — "ground zero" — at about 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. "I pulled up to a police barricade that was turning all cars away and showed my NATO press pass from work in Kosovo," he said. "The police looked at the pass, shrugged their shoulders, and said hesitantly, 'go ahead.'" He worked over the next 10 days, documenting the devastation and the courage of first responders and rescue workers, and the grief of families and friends of the dead.

Theresa Clower's son Devin died in 2018 and returning to her artistic roots helped her begin to grieve the loss of her son. Since then, she founded Into Light, a powerful art project consisting of graphite portraits and narratives intended to honor the lives of those who have died from drugs and create a forum for sharing stories, providing support, and offering education and activities that address the drug epidemic.

For over three decades, documentary photographer and activist Donna Ferrato has advocated for survivors of domestic abuse and women's rights by revealing the effects of domestic violence on abused women and their children. Photographing in emergency rooms, women's shelters, courtrooms, batterers' groups, women's detention centers, and while riding along with law enforcement, Ferrato aims to expose "the dark side of family life." More importantly, Ferrato's work has ignited decades of advocacy work for survivors of domestic abuse and women's rights that has helped to attract funding for domestic violence shelters nationwide and educated people on the warning signs of abuse, as well as the obstacles survivors face when trying to leave their abusers.
