The U.S. government is funneling billions of tax dollars to the military in order to fund what's often called the war on terrorism. Meanwhile, pressing social problems such as poverty in the United States are on the back burner. On this program, the National Radio Project's Women's Desk takes a look at some unseen victims of war.
Featuring:
Selma James, International Wages for Housework Campaign; Phoebe Jones Schellenberg, Philadelphia Wages for Housework; Voice of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. in a speech from Riverside Church, April 4, 1967; Margaret Prescod, Every Mother is a Working Mother Network; Reverend Ralph Abernathy, formerly with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
