More about the book
The book delves into Daniel Patrick Moynihan's controversial 1965 report, which highlighted concerning trends in black employment, poverty, and education, linking them to family instability. While advocating for a jobs program to support black men and strengthen families, the report faced significant backlash for allegedly blaming the black community rather than addressing systemic injustices. It sparked intense debate, being criticized as sexist and racist, particularly within liberal circles, reflecting the complexities of race and social policy in America during that era.
