To most people living in cities around the world, the homeless have essentially become invisible. They blend into the streets, they’re background noise, they’re just a part of the fabric of a city like buildings and street lights and crosswalks. Only… they’re human. Just like us. To prove how invisible the homeless are to normal decent folks, NYC Rescue Mission did a social experiment where they dressed people’s family members as homeless to see how they would react. Everybody just walked by without saying a word to their family, some never even gave a glance to their relatives.
