Progressives' Actions

Like Theodore Roosevelt, Progressives believed that the solution to the immigrants' social and economic problems was Americanism and ultimately diminishing the immigrants' cultures and Americanizing them. 
As a Progressive educator, Julia Richman recognized the difficulties that immigrants faced and actively engaged herself to improve the lives of these foreigners  through education during the Prohibition.


Julia Richman was a progressive educator who sought to ban alcohol and help immigrants through American education. She was cognizant of the fact that immigrants lived inferior lives with a lack of political, social, and academic equality.
