SUMMARY:Surviving the System: The Myth of Welfare
DESCRIPTION:This workshop blends historical research\, cultural analysis\, and modern examples to trace how economic circumstances helped shape social conditions within the Black community in the late 60s\, 70s\, and beyond. ​\nWe will examine the “New Deal” policies created to help poor families put food on the table and provide a roof over their heads through housing vouchers and food stamps\, but with one major caveat: to receive this so-called federal help\, mothers had to agree to break up their families by removing the father from the home. ​ \nYou will meet the scapegoated myth of the “Welfare Queen\,” who was blamed for all the minimum-wage jobs in America and the reason for the decline of the middle-class family.​ \nWe will investigate the mass manipulation systems at work that uphold white supremacy and patriarchy.​
