This is a long overdue book- since completing my dissertation thirty years ago, I


have wanted to have a full description and explanation of The Segregated Origins


of Social Security. Mary Poole offers public historians, social historians, social


scientists, social workers, and students of policymaking a detailed reading of


primary sources by those men and women instrumental in shaping and enacting


the first four programs of the 1935 Social Security Act-Grants to States for Old


Age Assistance (Title I), Federal Old-Age Benefits (Title II), Grants to States for


Unemployment Compensation Administration (Title III), and Grants to States


for Aid to Dependent Children (Title IV).


“African Americans were not denied the benefits of Social Security because


of the machinations of southern congressional leadership, as is assumed,” Poole


argues. “The Act was made discriminatory through a shifting web of alliances of


white policymakers that crossed regional and political parties … who genuinely


sought to build a fairer and better world, and devoted their waking hours to that


challenge, but whose vision was steeped in racial privilege” (p. 6).
