SPOTLIGHT: Not Living Perpetually on Government Entitlements


Produced by Benjamin Smith

This edition of Spotlight features Monte Larrick’s interview with Latasha Fields at the recent CURE Chicago Summit for Solutions II. Mrs. Fields shares her testimony – rising above the poverty of her childhood in Baton Rouge, LA, taking personal responsibility for her choices, embracing hard work, pursuing education, and ultimately, placing her faith in Jesus – a testimony she also shared in June with the U.S. House Budget Committee.

Larrick and Fields discuss the Democratic Party’s decades-old tactics that continue to perpetuate poverty and dependence in black communities, the importance of voter education at the local level, and the value of individual moral responsibility. They also address key issues for black voters: parental rights and school choice.

Latasha Fields and her husband are parents to four children – all of whom have been or are currently homeschooled. Fields is the Illinois state coordinator for ParentalRights.org and co-founder, with her husband, of Christian Home Educators Support System.
