Location: Seattle Labor Temple 2800 First Avenue Room 206
Details: Now reading: Chapters 1 & 2 of The Rich and the Rest of Us: A Poverty Manifesto by Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornel West.
Record unemployment and rampant corporate avarice, empty houses but homeless families, dwindling opportunities in a paralyzed nation - these are the realities of America, land of the free and home of the new middle class poor. Award-winning broadcaster Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornel West, one of the nation's leading public intellectuals, take on the "p" word - poverty. They challenge all Americans to re-examine their assumptions about poverty in America - what it really is and how to eradicate it.
