The Center for the Study of Free Enterprise is excited to present our third installment of the 2018-19 Free Enterprise Speaker Series, Bus Stop Jobs: A Film-screening and Discussion about Poverty and Economic Mobility in North Carolina On November 12, 2018 at 5 pm. The public event, which will take place in the A.K. Hinds University Theater, will feature Dr. Craig Richardson, Professor of Economics and Director of the Center for the Study of Economic Mobility at Winston-Salem State University.<\/p>\n
The event will begin with a screening of \u201cBus Stop Jobs,\u201d an 11-minute documentary that details the life of Brittany Marshall, a contract worker for Wells Fargo and single mother who lives in Winston-Salem, NC. An Interview and Q&A Session with Richardson and Dr. Edward Lopez will follow immediately after the screening.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt issue,\u201d says Center for the Study of Free Enterprise Director Dr. Edward Lopez, \u201c\u2026are the everyday difficulties faced by the least advantaged in our society. This conversation will include some of the best ways\u2014which aren\u2019t always the most traditional ways\u2014to help the poor in both our rural and urban communities in WNC and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMarshall\u2019s story strikingly illustrates some of the less obvious reasons why it is difficult for poor people\u2026to improve their economic status,\u201d writes Lisa O\u2019Donnell of the Winston-Salem Journal.<\/p>\n
The event is free and open to the public. No RSVP is required and students who attend will be eligible for a DegreePlus point.<\/p>\n
