26 August 2019 (Wall Street International)* — On a Tuesday morning in a local African American community, cars line the streets.

.
In the United States, more than half of the hungry households are white. While blacks and Latinos are disproportionately poor — 27% black, 25% Latino — most poor people in the United States are white.
