Watch "ColorLines: Race and Economic Recovery," Only on LinkTV

President Obama says the stimulus saved or created 2 million jobs in 2009. But is the recovery really working? The American dream of good jobs and strong communities is still just a dream for too many. The unfair economy hurts certain groups more, and that ends up hurting everyone. From the bottom line to the unemployment line to the color line, watch a new in-depth program from Link TV and Applied Research Center for a closer look: ColorLines: Race and Economic Recovery.

Tune in to LinkTV on Friday, February 12, for 'ColorLines: Race and Economic Recovery,' on DIRECTV Channel 375 or DISH Network Channel 9410 at 9:30PM EST (6:30PM PST). Then join us on Twitter @racialjustice, as we host a roundtable discussion on what we've seen.

ColorLines: Race and Economic Recovery follows communities making ends meet in The Great Recession. The program narrates the moving story of Tisha, mother of three in Connecticut, facing a social safety net shredded further by the crisis. Then the program goes to Los Angeles where community-based organization SCOPE has mobilized to win green jobs for communities of color.
