Introduction to History, Exploration, Stories:
In the heart of West Virginia lies a village called Odd, where the Whittaker family has become one of the most well-known yet misunderstood families in America. The Whittakers have faced life's challenges
with remarkable grace and joy, earning admiration for their caring and honest nature. Living 75 miles from Charleston, the family's story is one of struggle and survival, marked by a history of inbreeding that
has left some members with devastating genetic defects.
Photographer Mark Laita, moved by their
challenging living conditions and complex history of inbreeding, has embarked on a mission to raise $250,000 through a GoFundMe campaign to secure a new home for this resilient family. But how did it
all start and what led the photographer Mark Laita to the corners of West Virginia to meet the family?
Mark Laita:
Photographer Mark Laita, known for his work on the YouTube channel Soft White Underbelly, first encountered the Whittaker family during a documentary project in 2020. The project shed light on their
day-to-day lives and heritage, capturing the essence of a family that communicates not only through words and sign language but also through grunts and barks. This particular expedition unfolded during
the creation of his book, ''Create Equal,'' adding a layer of purpose to his exploration.
