Search Women's History September 6 , 1860 - May 21, 1935) www.arttoday.com Born in Cedarville, Illinois, Jane Addams' mother died when she was two, and she was raised by her father and, later, a stepmother. She graduated from Rockford Female Seminary in 1881, among the first students to take a course of study equivalent to that of men at other institutions. Her father, whom she admired tremendously, died that same year, 1881. Her attempt to attend Woman's Medical College in Pennsylvania ended in failure, probably due to her ill health and her chronic back pain. She toured Europe 1883-5 and then lived in Baltimore 1885-7, but did not figure out what she wanted to do with her education and her skills. In 1888, on a visit to England with her Rockford classmate Ellen Gates Starr, Jane visited Toynbee Settlement Hall and London's East End. Jane and Ellen planned to start an American equivalent of that settlement house. After their return they chose Hull mansion, a building which had, though originally built at the edge of the city, become surrounded by an immigrant neighborhood and had been used as a warehouse.

Extractions: Politician, Lobbyist and Civil rights activist National Council of La Raza Controversy Over Welfare Reform On August 22, 1996, President Bill Clinton signed into law the strictest federal welfare reform law in years. It had major implications for legal immigrants who were not citizens. They became ineligible for food stamps and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the latter of which assists aged, blind, and disabled individuals. The cost savings from these cutbacks was estimated to be between 20 and 30 billion dollars over six years. Immigrant advocate groups and charitable organizations, such as the NCLR, Northern California Coalition for Immigrant Rights in San Francisco, and Second Harvest, felt that the law was too harsh and unfair. Immigrants who came to the United States legally yet, who were not citizens, would be cut off from immigrant public assistance programs. This was especially critical to refugees who come to the United States with little money and few possessions, and who typically need several years for an adequate transition to their new surroundings. Advocates claimed it was unfair to change the rules and cut off benefits to those who had come to the United States legally. The Orange County Register.

Extractions: LAUNCH CHAT IMMIGRATION AND THE INTERNET The Selective Service, the federal agency in charge of administering the military draft registration system in this country, has established a web site ( http://www.sss.gov ) that allows individuals to register for the draft online. Male permanent residents as well as citizens born after 1959 may be required to register for US military service. Failure to register can result in criminal penalties even though there is no draft. Unfortunately, many permanent residents are unaware of this legal obligation or mistakenly believe it does not apply to them. The American Immigration Law Foundation has created a new public service web site ( http://www.notable-immigrants.org ) to honor immigrants who have benefited America. The site includes photos and biographies of immigrants who have made a significant contribution to America, the Congressman who submitted them for consideration and the individual attorneys who have interviewed the immigrants.

Extractions: Asian American History PROJECT DESCRIPTION America has been called both a melting pot and a tossed salad because of its history of immigration and assimilation. However, not all immigration groups were quickly or easily accepted into the American way of life. Asians were one of the groups that found it hard to come to the United States, and once they had immigrated, found their lives restricted in ways that other immigrant groups did not encounter. In spite of these obstacles, Asian Americans have contributed in many ways to our nation's history and continue to be one of the largest new immigrant groups today. To learn more about the history and culture of these Asian Americans, Scholastic.com presents Asian American Heritage. This online activity introduces different stories and activities to students and reinforces that Asian Americans have diverse cultural backgrounds. This activity celebrates those differences especially during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in May.
