The Face of Poverty in Rural North Carolina

These stories clearly represent how rural poverty is a personally crushing, cyclical problem in North Carolina, the rural South, and beyond. Many thanks to the NAACP of NC for putting on these community forums and placing these stories in the public eye as part of the Truth and Hope Poverty Tour in 2012.

Footage here includes Beaufort, Bertie, Edgecombe, Halifax, New Hanover, and Pasquotank Counties in Eastern North Carolina and Rowan and Rockingham Counties in the Piedmont.
