Black History Month Presentation: Martin Luther King Junior: Poverty: Part 3

Black people have federal and state law programs. According to UNICEF, around 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. Hunger, lack of sanitation and access to clean water and lack of resources for proper health care are the main reasons. Back in 2011, 165 million children were stunted due to less nutrition. 

Mostly through household surveys, they found that 44 percent of the world lived in extreme poverty. 1990: The World Bank defined extreme poverty as people living on $1 or less a day. Around 1.85 billion people, or 36 percent of the world's population, lived in extreme poverty.
To stop poverty, here are some solutions:
  1. Create jobs. ...
  2. Raise the minimum wage. ...
  3. Increase the Earned Income Tax Credit for childless workers. ...
  4. Support pay equity. ...
  5. Provide paid leave and paid sick days. ...
  6. Establish work schedules that work.
  7. Christian activists have been trying to motivate us to care.
  8. Pray for more money.

A Bible verse about poverty: 
“Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
 -Luke 12:33-34

Artknits Richmond Hill Articles: Bluefish chapter 10: what is all about? (expecpt for the Velveeta on ... part)

 Travis has a project about a skit to do in his social studies class. Travis does not like to work in groups just like Velveeta. Travis likes to work all by himself. said Ms. Gordon when she faced to Travis. He does not want to do the outline. Travis was being so lazy. This is why Travis does not like going to school because of his social studies project.  Travis was not an A+ student because he did not hand in his paragraph on literature, and he returns a blank piece of paper for the vocabulary quiz on Wednesday. Mcqueen wanted Travis to come to the office, and Mcqueen wanted Travis to do a book review on his "Fox" book. Mcqueen wanted to find a way for Travis to read better in class. He cannot read like his classmate does. Travis has a learning disorder. Travis gave up on his reading project because when Travis was so bad at reading. Travis does not keep trying at all. And, this is wrong.
