- **Event Description**: Why all this poverty in the land of abundance?About this EventUnited Way of Central Indiana is proud to host Matthew Desmond, Pulitzer Prize winning author of the book "Poverty by America" as he documents how the wealthy harm the poor -- knowingly and unknowingly. Join us on April 27 at the Dean and Barbara White Auditorium at the Indiana State Museum to hear from Matthew as he explores the question of how persistent poverty can exist in a land of plenty. Through his writing, Desmond outlines "in order to understand the causes of poverty, we must hold a mirror up to ourselves. Are we — we the secure, the insured, the housed, the college educated, the lucky — somehow responsible for all this suffering?” General Admission and VIP tickets are now available. VIP tickets include preferred seating and a copy of Matthew's book to be signed at a private reception after the event. The event is set to begin at 9am with doors opening at 8:30am. Parking is available in the attached White River State Park underground parking garage on Washington Street and in nearby garages, or in the White River State Park South.Ticket sales end April 26.
