Ebony October 2009 cover headline: Homeless Not Hopeless ~ Ebony Investigates. Article titled "Reclaiming Victory", written by Shirley Henderson& Kevin Chappell, photos by Valerie Goodloe. The article profiles "...six people who have had a brush with homelessness".
The profiles are first person accounts, such as from Joseph Harris, age 46, single father with 4-year-old son from Washington, D.C. Harris is quoted as saying "..there are so many people in need that I kept getting doors closed."
I know that feeling.
I am not sure how much investitgating went into the article. The people profiled appeared to have been homeless only for short time periods. While I enjoyed their stories, they did not seem to reflect the general homeless populations experiences.
