Government, Firms Move To Combat Poverty Across Country
A coalition urges that government and business must provide relief to the poor, arguing a constitutional right to aid. Vice President Humphrey announces a $59 million program financing six factory projects to hire slum residents in Los Angeles and Brooklyn. The plan, funded largely by private firms, aims to create meaningful jobs while a new Urban Research Institute forms at the White House to tackle urban issues. A landmark welfare rights brief argues relief is society’s duty, as a Supreme Court case weighs states denying aid to out-of-state residents. Meanwhile, civil rights hearings probe Southern poverty-driven migration, and Atlanta groups seek wagons and mutes for nonviolent demonstrations demanding expanded welfare programs.
