WCNC: Gaston County Leaders Address Homelessness
Homelessness is a mirror. It reflects many things — including our nation’s living history of racism. But ending homelessness would reveal something else that is also true. We can create a future where a place to call home is within reach for all — and the impact of racism is truly a thing of the past.
