The Face of Poverty in the USA

In the United States, there are certain stereotypes about who lives in economic poverty.  I would like to think that myths about the economically poor being lazy or of a certain race, ethnicity, or religious belief are being debunked.  One of the best examples I have seen, that gives a good perspective of the diversity of those living in economic poverty in the US is this movie called The Line.

I think this a great way for us all to begin our week of reflection on poverty in the United States, and I hope this is as eye-opening for you as it was for me.
