A look back into history allows us to better understand the challenges faced by people with dwarfism today. It allows us to gain a better understanding of where they have been and what lies on the road ahead in the search to raise awareness for better understanding. “ In an attempt to embrace the richness, diversity and complexity of those of us who share a visible difference- dwarfism - and whose history, until now, had been lost or overburdened with the legacy of myth, we explore our past, recognize the present, and help shape our future.” Betty Adelson
