Faces of the Forgotten: A Raw Tribute to Homeless Veterans

This black-and-white photojournalism series—captured in the late 1990s—offers an unflinching look at the human cost of neglecting those who once served. These portraits of homeless veterans speak without words, revealing the emotional residue of war, abandonment, and survival etched into every face. There is no narration. No music. No words—just expressions that expose the raw, unfiltered truth.

Disclaimer:
This project was originally produced during Dr. Mozelle Martin’s time as a contract journalist with Lens & Ledger (1995–2011). The publication is no longer in operation following the passing of its founder. This series is shared in the spirit of ethical storytelling and visual truth—part of Dr. Martin’s lifelong commitment to documenting unseen suffering and confronting the realities often ignored by mainstream narratives.
