SUMMARY:Frances Perkins: Breaking a Barrier
DESCRIPTION:Frances Perkins was inspired to become an activist after 
 witnessing the Triangle Factory Fire tragedy in 1911. She worked at the 
 Jane Addams Hull Settlement House and for New York State under Governors Al 
 Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt. When Roosevelt became President in 1933\, 
 he nominated Perkins for the position of Secretary of Labor. She was the 
 first woman to serve in a President's Cabinet and was the longest-serving 
 Labor Secretary in the nation's history. During her term there she helped 
 to create the Social Security Act\, plus other government efforts of the 
 New Deal.\n\nPlease join Mark Sample\, MCC Professor of History\, as he 
 discusses the life of a trailblazing woman. Registration is requested.
