After Welfare
Category: History, American, Radio, TV, Documentaries
Keywords: American Radio Works, American RadioWorks, After, Welfare
Author: American RadioWorks
Publisher: American Public Media
Length: 50 min.

Description
The welfare reform law signed by President Clinton in August 1996 was designed to "end welfare as we know it." To a striking degree, it did: the number of people getting a welfare check dropped by more than half nationwide. Yet moving people off welfare is not the same as moving them out of poverty. Most single-parent households that left poverty increased their income slightly but remained poor. After Welfare explores the impact of welfare reform on women and children in Memphis, TN, Camden, NJ, and in Wyoming. The documentary also visits Oklahoma City, where efforts are being made to promote marriage as a solution to poverty.

Las Vegas: An Unconventional History commemorates the 100th anniversary of Las Vegas with a sweeping look at the city's dramatic past.

Explore Las Vegas' various incarnations during its evolution, including its Depression-era role as the "Gateway to the Hoover Dam" and its mid-century reputation as a gangster-run hideaway known as "Sin City." Drawing upon compelling interviews with historians, journalists, cultural commentators, as well as rich archival sound, this program evaluates Las Vegas' ongoing role as a barometer of American values.
