The Poorest Children In America

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2012/09/17/poorest-children




Writer and teacher Jonathan Kozol has spent most of a lifetime following America’s poorest children.  Not in statistics or test scores, but in person.  In their schools and neighborhoods, homes and homeless shelters.

In book after celebrated book, he has brought their lives home to a nation quite willing to look the other way.  Now, as Chicago teachers strike and the country thinks again about what it really takes to build a ladder up, Kozol is reporting in again.  On who made it and who didn’t.

This hour, On Point:  Jonathan Kozol on twenty-five years among America’s poorest kids.
