Event details:
Over 59 years ago, former President Lyndon B. Johnson declared war on poverty. With this war came a dramatic expansion in government programs that included health insurance for the poor and elderly, food subsidies to promote nutrition, educational programs for preschool-aged children, as well as other programs.
How have we fared in this war? In this lecture, Dr. Sullivan will discuss the effect of these programs on poverty over the past five decades and highlight key lessons learned from national efforts to improve outcomes for low-income individuals and families.
