Lillian Wald was a trained nurse who moved to the Lower East Side in 1893 when she was 26 years old. She founded the Visiting Nurse Service of New York and the Henry Street Settlement. She also helped found the Women’s Trade Union League, and the Children’s Bureau, and succeeded in placing the nation’s first school nurses, special education classes, and free school lunches into New York City Public Schools.
Carnegie was a Scottish-American magnate and philanthropist. He founded Carnegie Steel (which he later sold to JP Morgan). Carnegie gave away nearly 90% of his fortune to charity and established the notion of “The Gospel of Wealth,” which held that wealthy people had the duty to give back to society. Just a few of his philanthropic works include more than 3,000 public libraries around the world, The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and Carnegie Mellon University.
