Pull quote: On May 16, an artist, a railway service and a government agency spent $291,978 to block poverty from the public eye. Called psychylustro, German artist Katharina Grosses project is a large-scale work designed to distract Amtrak train riders from the dilapidated buildings and fallen factories of north Philadelphia. The city has a 28 percent poverty rate - the highest of any major US city - with much of it concentrated in the north. In some north Philadelphia elementary schools, nearly every child is living below the poverty line. Oh God, Oh God, Oh God.....YES!!! (This is one of my top ten rants of the past ten years!) Thank you Al Jazeera America for starting a much needed critique. Aisha Bedaisha
