Against All Odds: Fight for A Black Middle Class
The Fight for a Black Middle Class probes the harsh and often brutal discrimination that has made it extremely difficult for African Americans to establish a middle-class standard of living. Through historical footage and personal interviews, journalist Bob Herbert explores the heroic efforts of black families to pursue the American dream despite the obstacles and setbacks that have emerged from the Jim Crow era through the Great Recession.
