Meet your speakers, Jannett Highfill and Frederick Solt.  They will inform the public about a politically relevant topic that affects people’s lives around the world.  Economic inequality has existed since the beginning of communal living, but it never has been so extreme and divisive.  The Whiteside Forum brings the dialogue to the local level.
