The author is Bruce Hartford, a member of the Civil Rights Movement Veterans. It was
published in February 2013 and explains what some of the roots of poverty may be and how
poverty may be related to the basic civil rights of humans. I feel that the information in the
source can help build credibility in my paper as it describes a possible reason for poverty in
America as discrimination has been around for generations.

John D. Sutter is an award winning columnist for CNN. He provides ways that may reduce and
stop poverty as well as child poverty in America. I feel that this can be relevant to my paper as it
describes an effect of poverty. Children across the nation are affected by economic negligence.
CNN, as well as the author provides the article with statistics showing those families who are
affected most, this information provides supporting evidence on claims there may be in my
paper.

Williams provides broad and simple explanations of poverty itself and how it came about in the
United States. Walter Edward Williams is an academic economist, commentator, and is the John
M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University. In his article he
claims that poverty is a simple fix, and that if we as an economy simplified our financial systems
we could end poverty quickly. This provides my paper with different opinions from experts on
how poverty can be fixed.
