How the Other Half Lives

Jacob Riis may have died 100 years ago, but his legacy has not been forgotten, especially in light of the current conversation about income equality. We’ll host a conversation about poverty past and present, and ways this country has responded to it. The panel will include journalists Sasha Abramsky and Ted Gup, and historian Ethan G. Sribnick from the Institute for Children, Poverty and Homelessness.

This event is free and seats are first-come, first-serve.

However, you can reserve two seats with the purchase of a featured book: The American Way of Poverty: How the Other Half Still Lives by Sasha Abramsky or The Poor Among Us: A History of Family Poverty and Homelessness in New York City by Ralph da Costa Nunez and Ethan G. Sribnick. To purchase a book contact Laura Lee at [email protected] or 212.431.0233 ext 259.
