Focus Years: 2010 | Country: United States
Synopsis:
President Obama says the stimulus saved or created two million jobs in 2009. But is the recovery really working? The American dream of good jobs and strong communities is still just a dream for too many. The unfair economy hurts certain groups more, and that ends up hurting everyone. From the bottom line to the unemployment line to the color line, watch a new in-depth program from Link TV and Applied Research Center for a closer look. "ColorLines: Race and Economic Recovery" follows communities making ends meet in The Great Recession. The program narrates the moving story of Tisha, mother of three in Connecticut, facing a social safety net shredded further by the crisis. Then, the program goes to Los Angeles where community-based organization SCOPE has mobilized to win green jobs for communities of color. This half-hour magazine-style show is hosted by Chris Rabb, founder of Afro-Netizen and author of forthcoming book "Invisible Capital: How Unseen Forces Shape Entrepreneurial Opportunity". The in-studio guest is Tram Nguyen, journalist who has written extensively on racial justice issues and author of "We Are All Suspects Now: Untold Stories from Immigrant America After 9/11". Tram is former editor of "ColorLines" magazine and now works at the California Reinvestment Coalition.
