What can we learn about American attitudes toward our most marginalized populations by examining the ways in which movies treat poor people and the places they live? This Sunday, join author Stephen Pimpare for a tour of a century's worth of American cinema as we try to makes sense of how culture might matter for the making and unmaking of social policy.

A People's History of Poverty in America and, most recently,
Ghettos, Tramps, and Welfare Queens: Down and Out on the Silver Screen. 1:30-3:00pm, 30 JFK Street.
