Faces of Children of Poverty

 

 Photographed by Stephen Shames

 

In the richest country the world has ever known more than 13 million American children – most of them from working families – live in poverty. During a remarkable career that has spanned four decades, award winning photojournalist Stephen Shames has championed the cause of America’s most vulnerable children and their families. His haunting photographs remind us that if we will only open our eyes to the world around us we can create a better and more secure life for the next generation of Americans.

"Inequality has been a very serious problem for a very long time. Inequality now is at a level not seen at least since the 1920s...maybe further back. That is very severe."
