The Progressive Era, 1900 – 1920: America’s Quest for a Better Society - CAST Virtual Program
The period 1900-1920 was marked by a wide-ranging effort by many Americans – from President Theodore Roosevelt to settlement house pioneer Jane Addams – to rein in the excesses and abuses that accompanied the industrial boom, rapid urbanization, and political corruption of the Gilded Age. This spirit of reform (Progressivism) brought about significant changes in politics, business regulation, labor law, women’s rights, and social welfare policies. Yet there were limits to this reform, most notably around race relations. In this presentation, Professor O’Donnell will examine the ideas and motivations of these reform movements and assess their success and enduring legacies. This program is free ad open to the public. No pre-registration needed. Provided by the CAST Senior Center, our Virtual Programs provide an endless variety of interesting subjects. Our Virtual Programs take us across the country, experiencing and learning about places and people which we wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to experience. Scheduled every Tuesday afternoon, unless noted, at 1pm at the CAST Senior Center, our Virtual Programs are free and open to the public. There are no membership dues and everyone is welcome to attend. Programming is provided by CuriousityU.com and other online providers. Check out our virtual program schedule every month and join us!
