Scenes from the ColorLines TV special "Race and the Economic Recovery."
Social programs have been cut, living wage jobs are scarce and our economic system is in upheaval. While the White House claims its stimulus package is working, the question remains, is it working for all Americans?
On this edition we bring you the audio version of Link TV and Applied Research Center’s video, ‘Color Lines: Race and Economic Recovery’. Hear the untold stories of how racism hurts all of our economic futures. The documentary also examines how the current recession and time limits on welfare are affecting women of color. It’s hosted by Chris Rabb, author of the soon-to-be released book, ‘Invisible Capital.’
