    Hi, Valerie -

    I was referring to the people in the snapshots above.  Even in this day and age, people stare and comment.  I know firthand, as I also have vitiligo.  For me, depigmentation therapy was the way I opted to treat it.

    I don't think or should I say you CANNOT just say their lives are horrible, I do not think that anyone would deliberately do that to themself. These artist are simply showcasing their amazing skills.

Side show /Freak show- People of color with Vitiligo 18th and 19th century
