There was also a live chat that the producers and Keith Stanley took part in:
Is There Hope for the Middle Class? ? Live Chat Transcript | Two American Families | FRONTLINE | PBS
A few interesting things:
The producers interviewed 80 families back when it started and chose these 2.
Keith Stanley says he is still paying off college debt. He says he still has small loans left.
He was asked why he went to Alabama State and said it was inexpensive compared to local schools, he could get in easier, and it had a great business program.
The oldest Stanley daughter has an associate's degree and is a paralegal.
Tony Neumann has part-time work now and doesn't have a full time job.
Someone named Steph asked why the families stayed in Milwaukee. Keith Stanley replied "Steph, great question." The producer brought up general comments about expense, risk, families.
Keith Stanley then added: "Steph for the Stanley's unlike the great black migration up north, the gold rush of the last century there was no place to point to that would increase your chances of success, arguably Atlanta for many African Americans, in my humble opinion but my parents could answer that question better."
