Watch PBS Documentary “Legacy” (Follow One Family’s Resolve Through Poverty, Loss, Grief)

By Tambay, on March 14th, 2010

Filmed over a five-year period… for 4 generations, the Collins family was trapped in urban poverty, depending upon welfare and living in one of the oldest and most dangerous public housing projects in  the USA - Chicago’s Henry Horner Homes. Yet, unlike tens of thousands in their situation, they found the community support structures – and internal spirit – to strengthen their family and transcend the economic and social conditions of their lives.
