Dr. Desmond\u2019s keynote speech on October 16 at Davidson College focused on his latest book, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/675683\/poverty-by-america-by-matthew-desmond\/\">Poverty, by America<\/a><\/em>. His remarks motivated us to dig deeper into how we might encourage our community to begin unraveling the complex threads that keep so many of the people served at Crisis Assistance Ministry from achieving financial security and prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/crisisassistance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC00048-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crisisassistance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC00048-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/crisisassistance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC00048-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/crisisassistance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC00048-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/crisisassistance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC00048-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/crisisassistance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC00048-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the award-winning success of Dr. Desmond\u2019s first book, <a href=\"https:\/\/evictedbook.com\/\"><em>Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City<\/em><\/a>, his latest release confronts the myths, misconceptions, and outright lies we tell ourselves about poverty and the people experiencing it. Perhaps more importantly, the book asks each of us to examine how our personal decisions may perpetuate the suffering of others. The overarching message of the book, however, is hopeful: It is possible to abolish poverty through policies and practices that are within our reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, galvanized by Dr. Desmond\u2019s message, we set out to discover recently published books about socioeconomic equality.
