Rich to live in projects to educate the wealthy in Massachusetts
In Northampton a new Florence Heights Unemployed Coalition proposes a Class Exchange Program where rich visitors pay 200 to 500 dollars to stay a week with Florence Heights families. Hosts keep half the money, the rest funds coalition programs. Bennie Johnson, a 35 year old unemployed former security guard, says the effort seeks to show rich people blacks and Puerto Ricans as they are and to explain poverty and work attitudes.
