Barber, a Protestant minister, social activist, professor, and co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign, and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, assistant director of the Center for Public Theology and Public Policy at Yale Divinity School, address white poverty as a hugely neglected subject that might just be the key to mitigating racism and bringing together tens of millions of working class and impoverished Americans.
