Moving for opportunity
We’re looking at new research into what happens when people move from impoverished areas for better opportunities. And we want to know from you: When have you moved for the sake of opportunity? How did it affect your life?
Sue Popkin wrote the new book, “Moving to Opportunity: The Story of an American Experiment to Fight Ghetto Poverty.” She joins us along with Lydia Grayson, who took advantage of the “Moving to Opportunity” program to get out of New York City in an effort to find a safer environment for her children.
