Baby Bonds could be a solution to intergenerational poverty and closing the wealth gap in Prince George's County and Maryland

In other words, how are the cycles of poverty broken? Baby bonds could be a solution to breaking up intergenerational poverty in Prince George’s County and potentially the state.
