How do Georgia’s women and children fare economically? Generally speaking the answer is discouraging. Women in the state suffer higher rates and deeper depths of poverty and that economic insecurity has numerous implications. The Atlanta Women's Foundation is a non profit which focuses exclusively on increasing self-sufficiency among women and girls and it is trying to address the issues which keep so many women and children in poverty. The AWF’s C.E.O, Deborah Richardson joins us to explain.
Slavery By Another Name – Slavery has been well-documented in U.S. history but Wall Street Journal correspondent and author, Doug Blackmon, says the re-enslavement of black Americans that started after the Civil War and continued into the 20th Century has never been accurately addressed. His new book Slavery By Another Name took years of painstaking research and reveals some previously untold history. Blackmon joins us to discuss his findings.
