7. Fifty Years Later:  Post-Great Recession Images of the Poverty in America and Beyond.  In the early 1960s, it was the stark images of photographers like Andrew Stern that stirred policymakers and the collective American conscience to take action against poverty. Fifty years later, it seems like we need visual images to again stir our collective conscience to address the work that remains.  Therefore, I invite SSSP members to submit electronic images of poverty in America and beyond during this post-Great Recession period.  These images will be included in my multimedia Presidential Address and/or in materials associated with our SSSP co-sponsored one-day Innovative Approaches to Poverty Summit.  Please submit your electronic images and completed release form by April 30, 2014 to President Anna Maria Santiago at pres2014sssp@gmail.com.

Happy Holidays!
