In the wealthiest country in the world, people still go hungry. The food
stamp program was created in the 1960s to ease abundant agricultural
surpluses and help feed struggling families who fell through a limited
social safety net. Join Virginia Humanities Research Fellow Tracy Roof,
PhD, an associate professor of political science at the University of
Richmond, as she explores the often contentious politics of the food stamps
program, which has grown into the largest income support program for the
needy in the United States. For more information, contact Emma Ito at
