Ellora Derenoncourt was featured on NPR in a recent story on what life is like for Americans making under $15 an hour. Derenoncourt explains the history of the minimum wage in the U.S., including how one of the demands of the 1963 March on Washington was a $2 national minimum wage (over $15 today adjusted for inflation). She also draws upon her own research, which demonstrates the powerful effect that raising the minimum wage would have for Black workers. Check out the full story here.
