OOTC: The Middle Class New Deal

L. Joy opens this lesson from the Office of the Citizen with a question she posed to her social media community: Do you consider yourself middle class? Although her respective timelines were hilarious with their responses, the humor revealed that for many folks who have degrees, careers, businesses, and what was once considered high income are no longer financially secure. For this conversation about the middle class, L. Joy brings professor and author A. Mechele Dickerson to the front of the class.
