Listen "Chapter 3: Race and rumor"
Episode Synopsis
In the 1950s, a rumor that people were moving to Newburgh, NY to live off welfare riled up the city. When city leaders essentially declare war on welfare — and the people who get it — things tumble out of control.Plus, how national suspicions grew about people getting welfare right as more black people started gaining more access to welfare benefits.Host Krissy Clark and producer Peter Balonon-Rosen go back in history to tell a surprising origin story of part of our welfare system — and take a magnifying glass to how our country determines who deserves help and who doesn’t.Give today to help cover the costs of this rigorous reporting.
