Poverty rates surge in American suburbs
When President Johnson declared a “War on Poverty” 50 years ago, images of American poverty focused on the inner-city and rural poor. What is the state of American poverty today? Megan Thompson reports on the less visible but growing number of poor in America’s suburbs. This is part of an ongoing series of reports called 'Chasing the Dream,' which reports on poverty and opportunity in America.
