Sommario/riassunto: | When Governor Terry Sanford established the North Carolina Fund in 1963, he saw it as a way to provide a better life for the ""tens of thousands whose family income is so low that daily subsistence is always in doubt."" Illustrated with evocative photographs by Billy Barnes, To Right These Wrongs offers a lively account of this pioneering effort in America's War on Poverty. Robert Korstad and James Leloudis describe how the Fund's initial successes grew out of its reliance on private philanthropy and federal dollars and its commitment to the democratic mobilization of the poor. |
