Eras in the History of Social Work and Social Welfare

Each slide must include

· Name of the era and why the era was given that name

· One (1) policy or movement during the era that had significant influence/impact on social welfare of the U.S. country? Describe why the influence or impact was significant to the profession of social work or social welfare

· **One (1) social worker who was influential in that era to the profession of social work or social welfare, and what impact they had

**Pick 2 social workers from your timeline to feature more in depth. In addition to sharing what impact they had, include why they are important to the history of social work, the area of social work they were influential in (i.e. child welfare, medical social work), an interesting fact about them, and why you chose them. At least one of the two people you mention should be from an underrepresented group (Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and/or Person of Color or an advocate or member of the LGBTQ+ community). These individuals should be featured on their own slide.
