Description of Lecture

During the twentieth century, many homeless Americans lived on skid rows, the best known of which was New York City’s Bowery. Such spaces became more than urban poverty zones. Over time, they came to define the people who lived there. Howard will lend insight into the meaning of homelessness and poverty in twentieth-century America and offer us a new perspective on the modern welfare system.
