Original Toronto Star caption: This is the face of poverty in the U.S.; as seen in Newark; New Jersey. But most middle-class Americans never see it; says Gunnar Mayrdal; the Swedish authority on poverty. Although slums are everywhere; he says; the poor are almost hidden because they have never before stood up on their back legs; to make themselves heard loudly.
