In this podcast we discuss the beginnings of social reform in the United States. We discuss Dorothea Dix and her work in the field of mental illness, as well as Temperance, Abolition, Women's Suffrage, and Horace Mann with educational reforms. 

Many of today's social justice movements can trace their beginnings back to this time in our nation's history. Change is perpetual, but to get real change started requires a lot of work, as you will hear!

There is so much content that we needed to break it up into two separate podcasts. 

This is part 1 of 2.
