The leaders of the Truth and Hope Poverty Tour held a news conference Wednesday to talk about what they found on the four legs of the tour that began in January and ended last month. The state chapter of the National Assocation for the Advancement of Colored People was a key organizer.
Gene Nichol with an anti-poverty center at UNC-Chapel Hill said the impoverished live in the shadows of society, no matter if they live in big cities, rural areas or the suburbs.
A summit Saturday in Rocky Mount will feature personal testimonies by people living in poverty.
