Poverty to Prosperity
Introduction
Poverty to Prosperity is GCI’s a seminar series focused on critical and overdue conversations to identify real solutions to one of our nation’s age-old problems: poverty. The Poverty to Prosperity series provides a forum for dialogue and policy discussion between some of the nation’s premier experts on poverty and the Chicago community. Now 50 years after President Johnson’s declared “War On Poverty,” persistent problems in inequality and stratification of access to resources and opportunities continue to disproportionately affect certain neighborhoods and communities, inhibiting their chances to break the cycle of poverty. GCI provides the space for dialogue on some of our generation’s most pressing issues.
