Selma Woman Battles Welfare Policy Over Child Aid
Slyvester Smith of Selma Alabama challenges the states aid to dependent children rules after removal from eligibility in 1966. She supports four minor children and earns 16 to 20 dollars weekly as a cook and waitress. The so called substitute father Williams, who has nine of his own, lives with his family and is not the father of Smith's children. States use welfare funds partially to support such arrangements, a claim criticized as depriving poor children of needed assistance.
