Personal Name:Voss, Cameron
Corporate Name: Lutheran Settlement House
Publication Information:
Publisher: Lutheran Settlement House
Place: Philadelphia, PA
Year: 1992
Material Type: Book
Physical Media:Print
Abstract/Summary:
"Women, minorities and low-income people are among the primary participants in adult education programs, yet these groups are consistently under-represented in the history and
social studies texts designed for adult learners. The Women's Program decided to develop this book for two main reasons: to increase students' knowledge of history and to help them realize the important contributions that all people, specifically women, minorities, and people with low incomes, have made to the history of the United States. The book was made with the hope that history will be more interesting and meaningful for
adult students when they learn that history includes people like them and their ancestors."
Notes: The goal of the Lutheran Settlement House Women's Program is to provide education, employment, counseling and childcare programs which offer low-income and minority women the tools for empowerment and self-sufficiency. One way people become empowered is by learning about the past and discovering that people like themselves have been participants in their country's history.
