"That the poor are invisible is one of the most important things about them. They are not simply neglected and forgotten as in the old rhetoric of reform; what is much worse, they are not seen"
- Michael Harrington
About this Quote
This quote by Michael Harrington speaks with the systemic invisibility of the bad in society. He recommends that the bad are not just overlooked and forgotten, as is typically presumed, however rather they are not seen at all. This invisibility is a significant concern, as it enables the bad to be ignored and their needs to go unmet. This invisibility is a result of the power dynamics in society, where those in power are able to control the story and identify who is seen and who is not. This quote speaks to the importance of recognizing the bad and their requirements, and of working to create a society where everybody is seen and their requirements are fulfilled.
