Willard Suitcase Project Exposes Psychiatric History

The New York Times ran an article about a special exhibit in New York
that exposes the history of the psychiatric system in a very personal
way.

MFI board president Celia Brown lives in New York said, "I'm so proud
of the work that Darby Penney and Peter Stastny did. I remember when
they were researching the suitcases from WIllard. I also think the NY
Times did a great job in reporting and nice quotes from Darby. This
is the kind of story that can educate the public on the horrors of
the mental health system."
