Geoffrey Canada: Poverty Knows No Color
In this clip, president and chief executive officer for Harlem Children's Zone Geoffrey Canada reminds the attendees at the Children's Defense Fund's 2012 National Conference poverty knows no color or city limits and that the fight against poverty is an issue for all not only Black or Latino children. Watch, learn, and organize - the entire session is available for purchase by itself or as a full DVD set from the Children's Defense Fund's National Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Too often people have assumed that this crisis really is about poor black and brown children in America, and they could not be more wrong. This crisis is impacting our entire country...
For those who think this is about African Americans and Latinos I have some real news for you. This is not going good for the average middle class child in this country.
