In 1947, the United Nations (UN) tried to resolve the conflict over land between Arabs and Jews living in the former British mandate of Palestine. The UN recommended that Palestine be partitioned into two states―Arab and Jewish―and that the city of Jerusalem become a UN trusteeship. The majority of people living in Palestine were Arabs, and Arab leaders in Palestine rejected the plan. Jewish leaders accepted the plan and proclaimed the state of Israel within their part of Palestine. Almost immediately, war broke out between seven Arab nations and Israel.

In 1889, Jane Addams, a social reformer in Chicago, Illinois, founded a settlement house called Hull House, which provided child care, kindergarten, libraries, playgrounds, vocational and domestic training, and food services to poor city residents. It also sent visiting nurses to help care for the sick in Chicago’s crowded neighborhoods.

At Hull House, young mothers practiced ways to care for their children―including the daily infant bath, which is illustrated in the photograph above. English-language classes, civic rights classes, and art classes were also offered. The settlement houses provided important services to the poor at a time when government and many churches did not provide them.

Many of the people who worked at the settlement houses also worked to outlaw sweatshop working conditions, to promote organized labor, and to secure workers’ compensation laws.

This letter was written by a member of the American Anti-Slavery Society.

To Mr. T. D. Weld Dear Sir:

"You have been appointed an agent of the American Anti-Slavery Society. . . . Our object is the overthrow of American slavery. We expect to accomplish this, mainly by showing to the public its true character . . . its denial of the first principles of religion, morals, and humanity. . . .

"You will teach everywhere, the great fundamental principle of IMMEDIATE ABOLITION, as the duty of all masters. . . . Insist principally on the SIN OF SLAVERY, because our main hope is in the consciences of men.

"The people of color ought at once to be emancipated and recognized as citizens, and their rights secured, equal in all respects to others, according to the fundamental principle laid down in the American Declaration of Independence."

Letters of Theodore Dwight Weld, Angelina Grimke Weld, and Sarah Grimke, Volume I (New York: Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1934), 124C28.
