2:44Now PlayingAccording to a report released by the Census Bureau this week, more than 49 million Americans -- that's 16 percent of the population -- lives in poverty. That helps explains the growing Occupy movement and an increasing identification by Americans with the 99 percenters. The poor are tired of staying poor and watching the rich get richer.
Singer Monica had a reality check from her son, and now she wants to do something to make a difference. Roland Martin caught up with her at the Congressional Black Caucus Weekend in Washington, D.C., where he asked her why this matters to her.
