Ignored by those in front of them

Dignity, Seeking Respect in Back Row America by Chris Arnade; 2019;$30.00; 284 pages; Sentinel, New York, NY; 978-0-525-53473-0; checked out from Multnomah County Library, Central;12/21/19-12/26/19

This is about the class divide in the United States.  The author a former Wall Street investment banker took a trip around the United States and visited and got to know people who are living in the margins of the United States.  There are people who have nowhere else to go and are fighting to be recognized as part of the society of our country.  They're looked down on those in the front row, (seems to me those in the front row don't even see those in the rows behind them).  The author is also a good photographer who has some great photos of the places and people he visited.  It is a good reminder of those who don't make the news.
