Wealth and Poverty Programs
In Search of the American Dream: California History
(2007-04-25)
(kalw) -
To launch our documentary series, we consider how California has changed since World War II. Government programs and an emboldened workforce led to an emerging middle class in the years following the war. California met the challenge of educating its growing population and bolstering a supportive infrastructure. But over the last several decades, that development has decayed, and the wealth gap is widening again. We explore this progression through interviews, historic audio and music.
