Poverty Initiative January Immersion Course Begins!

On Monday, January 16, the Poverty Initiative begin its 7th immersion course.  This year’s course brings students, staff, and other leaders from the struggle to end poverty to NYC, Baltimore, Harpers Ferry, and Charles Town, West Virginia to learn, experience and reflect on the US Civil War, the Abolitionist movement, and the ways in which this history both helps define the ongoing struggles against poverty in the US and World, and how we can gain lessons from this history as we build a movement for change today.

Follow us throughout the trip on a special Tumblr site that has been set up to record the thoughts, images, and reflections from participants along the way.  Also follow us on Twitter and Facebook
