Dispelling Myths and Finding Solutions to Poverty in America: A Keynote Lecture with Dr. Matthew Desmond

Join the Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina and the Arnold School of Public Health on October 25th.

“Tens of millions of Americans do not end up poor by a mistake of history or personal conduct. Poverty persists because some wish and will it to.”

—Matthew Desmond

The Sisters of Charity Foundation is excited to host author Matthew Desmond to talk about his award-winning and thought-provoking book Poverty, By America. Dr. Desmond is a staunch advocate for systemic change across our country to address the shocking levels of poverty we have in the United States. As the Sisters of Charity Foundation continues to lean into our mission to reduce poverty in South Carolina we know that we must increase visibility and support for systems level change opportunities. Please plan to join us for this important discussion.

The Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina is proud to partner with the Arnold School of Public Health as a co-sponsor of this event.
