WhoWhatWhy hosts a podcast produced for The Ripple Effect featuring Russ Baker, Jefferson Morley and Jim DiEugenio.

In the final part of this essay, Jim turns to the “War on Poverty”, showing how the Kennedys, with David Hackett in the lead, were planning that program before JFK's civil rights bill was passed, and how, once Johnson took office, it was altered from its original intent and handed over to local authorities who hijacked it.
