ATLANTA -- Rashid Brown is no stranger to poverty. For many years, Rashid Brown has been helping low-to-moderate income families and communities Move-To-Work and gain self-sufficiency.

A recent study by researchers from Harvard and the University of California at Berkeley found that Atlanta is one of the worst places in the country for upward mobility. Economists see the new information as proof that conditions in different areas are what hold the people in those areas back, and that the blame should not be put on the individuals alone. Other southern cities like Charlotte, N.C., Memphis, Tenn., and Raleigh, N.C., as well as some midwestern cities like Indianapolis and Cincinnati, also have poor upward mobility rates. Some of the highest upward mobility rates can be found in New York City, Boston, Salt Lake City and parts of California. In Atlanta, November 13 to 14, 2014 OperationHOPE is hosting the HOPE Global Financial Dignity Summit titled Global Economic Recovey: How The Poor Can Save Capitalism.
