ADD PASSION AND STIR: Inequality, Mass Incarceration, and Social Justice for Native Americans
Nowhere are the deep connections that link hunger to social injustice and inequality more stark than among Native American communities. In this must-listen podcast, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Nicholas Kristof and Johns Hopkins Center for American Indian Health Director Allison Barlow join host Billy Shore to talk about poverty, education, and the struggle for social justice in Native American communities.
“We as a country have had this narrative that when people struggle, it’s because of a lack of personal responsibility and bad choices. When a child born in a certain county has a life expectancy shorter than that of Cambodia, that’s not because that infant is making a bad choice. It’s because we as a society are making bad choices about healthcare, education and jobs,” says Kristof.
