In World War Two millions of men went to fight and millions of women joined the workforce. There was just one small problem.t Kids. With their parents out of the house, who would take care of the children? The U.S. government faced this challenge during World War Two, leading to the first and only universal child care program in American history.
Colloquially known as the Lanham Act, this bill funded war nurseries that looked after children whose mothers worked long hours. Professor Chris Herbst studies child care policy. He says despite initial pushback, the program yielded positive outcomes for working moms and provided high-quality care for kids. However, the program did not last long. Except in California.
It also stands out for its focus on underrepresented communities and grassroots organizing, along with student-driven projects.
This spring, COPH moved into a new space on the sixth floor of the Pollak Library’s south side. It is more than double the size of the center’s previous 5,000-square-foot location.
The center’s new space will open to students and the public as soon as public health guidelines allow. Its upgrades include an archive with temperature control settings, a reading room for researchers, a collaborative workroom for students, a community room for events and exhibits, a processing room for handling and organizing new materials, a project room for student assistants and interviews and a recording room.
