And, really, there is no secret to hide when the insidious consequences of state neglect and greed continue to materialize and destroy the well-being of the people who call Camden home today. Those forms of repression are the hands that do their best work unseen. The hands we do not name but always sense moving among us that shaped Camden then, and continue to do so now. When we fail to bear witness to their presence, we aid in our own destruction.
