![["An Indian woman, Mrs. LaDonna Harris, is working to address poverty in Platte County, which is rapidly growing. She is recruiting volunteers to help with poverty programs and believes that Americans need to do more to help those in need. There is a push for the county to achieve second-class status by 1973 to improve funding and support for poverty initiatives. LaDonna Harris has experience working with impoverished communities and is passionate about making a difference."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_3_282_19_0000-LaDonna%20Harris,%20Clippings,%20July,%201967-1973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_3_282_19_0049_thumbnail.jpg "LaDonna Harris: Leading the Charge Against Poverty in 1969")
