The Henry Street Settlement:
​​​​​​​How Lillian Wald Shaped Service and Society

Paul Parker, c. 1940s

“Over broken asphalt, over dirty mattresses and heaps of refuse we went…[I felt] ashamed of being a part of society that permitted such conditions to exist…What I had seen had shown me where my path lay.”

- Lillian Wald, The House on Henry Street ​​​​​​​(1915).
