Introduction
The welfare of black American mothers has been cast in the societal discourse as welfare receipt, whose objectives are to improve and solve their social challenges that have affected their wellbeing for a long time. Orleck deeply challenges this view by compelling a story narrating how these women have worked hard in developing programmers which aim to create a solution to problems facing her society like poverty. These black mothers are identified as the real casualties of poverty where racism, all forms of structural barriers and classism intertwines with segregation and depression. Persistence and the urge of this black woman strongly challenge the myths and the long time narratives which have been used to define the welfare of poor black women.

There was zero dignity or respect for all African American mothers living in poverty. This was compounded by the kind of treatment they were given by their white employees who acted superior to a point where even the Caucasian young kids had powers to make orders to the fellow kids since their mothers were Africans or are black. The courage to do this came from their parents who at their tender age portrayed black people as the greatest rivals among the white community. Due to the discrimination and superiority of the Caucasian kids, the black children felt oppressed thus being able to identify their skin color as the main reason why they are being ordered around by the white kids.
Participation of the black women in the National Welfare organization which was declared by their strong motto “We can do it and do it better” clearly highlights the problems the working-class women to be seen by the dignified members of the society. The black families started moving to southern America mostly in the delta regions in the 1940s westwards and Las Vegas soughing for better employment opportunities which will rescue them from streams of poverty. All the African American women supported the group while promoting the feminist set principles which sounded different from other groups being dominated by middle-class feminists (Gebru 6165).
