for adequate food and housing and for a good education It indicates that it is
the failure to pay attention to these problems in the past that helps to keep the
poor impoverished This pattern has many of its roots in the South where
former farm laborers black and white alike have been displaced by machinery and
have migrated to cities where lacking education and job training for an industrial
age they remain poor find shelter in the city slums and remain cut off from the
better life they came to find EBE 1969
