Unfinished Business. is a whole spectrum of illnesses that have plagued our country since its beginnings. But it is also the story of one of the most successful social experiments of this or any other era: the settlement, a unique total-environment institution that reaches out to unite family and community, and the dispossessed of all ages, all colors. and all persuasions in what is perhaps one of the most viable instruments for social change in the United States today. "To get at the roots of evil in city slums is what the settlement is all about.'' Helen Hall tells not only what Henry Street Settlement is about, hut also how it evolved, its struggles and triumphs in the unending battle for social betterment. In the thirty-four years that she served as Henry Street's director. Miss Hall helped to forge an astonishingly strong link between settlement and community, a link that extended to include community studies and demonstrations; health cure; psychological counseling; housing; personal services; the famed Henry Street Playhouse, a music school and art department; as well as a Credit Union. the People's Rank, young people's cooperatives and buying clubs; programs for the aged, and consumer protection groups. During the Depression vital studies in unemployment were undertaken, and Miss Hall played a direct role in bringing about the Social Security Act of 1935. It was at Henry Street that the Lower F.astside Neighborhoods Association (LENA) was formed, and that Mobilization for Youth began. And here, too, the classic Addict on the Street was written, a major contribution to the war against drug addiction based on seven years of tape-recorded conversations with young neighborhood junkies. Throughout the thirties, the war years, the postwar years, and into the tumultuous late sixties, Helen Hall fought unceasingly for public funds and political recognition of community problems. She knew and worked closely with La Guardia, Senator Robert F. Wagner, and his son, Mayor Robert F. Wagner, the Roosevelt Administration and those administrations that followed in confronting the demands of a changing social scene. And she remembers the men and women, famous and unknown, who made not only Henry Street, but Americans across the United States, responsive to a nation in crisis.". FIRST Edition Hardcover.. Cloth.
