DANBURY, CONN. <\/strong>\u2014 As the issues of undocumented people living the United States become more heated and complicated, so does David Bacon<\/a>\u2019s desire to have the entire story told \u2014 through pictures. Some of the scenes will be on display for the next two months at Western Connecticut State University.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In his photo exhibit \u201cLiving Under the Trees<\/a>,\u201d Bacon shows the human side of the undocumented immigrants who incite passion in those who either support or reject them. The photos show people of different cultures sharing family values and work ethics.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The exhibit will be on display from Monday, Oct. 10, through Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2011,<\/strong> on the main floor of the Ruth Haas library on the university\u2019s Midtown campus, 181 White St. in Danbury during library hours. The exhibit is free and open to the public. Library hours can be found at www.wcsu.edu\/library<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bacon, who has written a book entitled \u201cIllegal People<\/a>,\u201d writes that \u201cour national policy (on immigration) produces even more displacement, more migration, more immigration raids, and a more divided, polarized society.\u201d He is expected to return to the university in mid-November to give a lecture on his book.<\/p>\n
