Author Michael Woodsworth Discusses Bed-Stuy Activism Part 3
Author Michael Woodsworth traces the legacy of the War on Poverty in his book, Battle for Bed-Stuy. He argues that the War on Poverty created a national anti-poverty infrastructure, but it lacked the funding and time it needed to make a large impact. He also discusses how residents are trying to re-ignite community efforts in order to stop gentrification in Bed-Stuy today.
