Poverty trapped thousands of Americans in terrible slums of industrial towns and cities, immigrating to find work - but found wretched living conditions. This was not of their own making, but the indifference of well meaning society to unscrupulous landlords and unfit housing law. This documentary describes how the Poor were not an 'Other,' but people reduced to destitution by circumstances of birth, lack of opportunity or want of affordable housing.
The wealthy viewed the Poor as worthy of charity, but still considered them beyond educating - 'filthy' in manners and habits. To actually visit the slums so as to understand their struggles and barriers to change was unthinkable. At the turn of the 20th Century Albion Fellows Bacon challenged this mindset in Evansville, Indiana. You will hear conversations she had with inhabitants of slum tenements that shows how they were trying to make the best of difficult circumstances.
