Ep.13 - The Struggle for Equality Part V - Employment Challenges During the Reagan Administration

In today's episode of Beware The Day with Ryan O. Adams, we delve into the fifth installment of our series, "The Struggle for Equality," focusing on the employment challenges faced during the Reagan Administration. As Reagan took office, his policies initiated a significant shift in domestic spending, particularly impacting affordable housing. This drastic reduction in funding had profound consequences, with subsidies plummeting from $26 billion to a mere $2 billion. Federally financed production of subsidized housing saw a staggering decline of over 82%. In our Black History Spotlight, we examine Eunice Carter, born into a family of prominent educators and activists in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1899. The family's relocation to Brooklyn, New York, following the Atlanta Race Riot of 1906 laid the groundwork for Eunice's remarkable journey. Join us as we explore her legacy and the enduring impact of her contributions.
