January 16, 2021 The 2nd Great Awakening & Social Reforms Part 2
In this podcast we continue the discussion on the beginnings of social reform in the United States. Within the two podcasts we discuss Dorothea Dix and her work in the field of mental illness, Temperance movement with limiting alcoholic consumption, 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 2 of 2.

There is always more to learn!
