I established (build) a community center in Chicago where immigrants could go to learn about American culture, celebrate their culture, receive medical and child care, learn to cook with American food, learn English, and learn how to become American citizens.
I helped to clean up the meat packing industry with my book “The Jungle.”
I am known as the “trust buster.” I promised Americans a square deal. I felt that big business was here to stay. But bad big businesses needed to be “busted” up.
I never really wanted to be president. I was the real trust buster. I later became the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court – a job I really loved.
I help to improve factory conditions especially for women and children.
I helped to preserve American beautiful landscape. I encouraged President Roosevelt to establish National Parks such as Yellowstone, America’s first national park.
Through the use of pictures, I helped Americans see how immigrants lived in the slums in urban centers in my book, “How the Other Half Lives.”
I worked to being about the end of the monopoly by Standard Oil. My work helped to expose the corruption in big businesses.
I fought for equal rights for Blacks Americans and formed the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People)
I was governor of Wisconsin and passed many reforms that made the state governments more power to the people
