Description: A group of boys poses on the steps outside of the Godman Guild House in Columbus, Ohio. A sign advertises services including a free public library, free kindergarten, public baths and a district nurse. In 1898, Anna B. Keagle, a high school and Sunday School teacher in the Flytown neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, and fourteen others became neighborhood activists and rented half of a brick double on West Goodale Street. In 1900 the group set out to build a sufficiently large settlement house. Henry C. Godman of the Godman Shoe Company gave $10,000 to the building fund, and construction was completed in November. The Godman Guild provided English classes, employment opportunities, children's programming and needs assessment. The District Nurses' Association used the Guild as a distributing point for free milk into the 1930s and the Guild pioneered the recreation center movement, conducting the first supervised playground in Columbus. The Guild opened the first public baths in the city and The Ohio State University College of Dentistry provided free dental care for children and adults. Godman Guild also founded an exclusively African Americans camp, Camp Wheeler in Chesterville, Ohio, 51 miles north of the city. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: A large crowd gathers for a welfare rally, demonstrating against Ohio Governor George Voinovich's social service budget cuts at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio, ca. 1991-1995. This photograph was taken by photographer Allen Zak for publication in the Columbus Free Press newspaper. The Columbus Free Press began as a bi-weekly publication in Columbus, Ohio, in 1970. An underground newspaper, it replaced the Ohio State University publication The People, Yes. The earliest known issue of the newspaper appeared on January 4, 1971. The newspaper underwent a series of name changes over the decades, with titles including the Columbus Free Press & Cowtown Times (1972-1976), the Columbus Freepress (1976-1992) and The Free Press (1992-1995). The paper, which covered many liberal and progressive causes, was an alternative to mainstream news sources in central Ohio with the slogan “The Other Side of the News.” In 1995, the paper ceased publication briefly before reemerging as a website in early 1996, and returning as a print publication under the Free Press title in the form of a quarterly journal in 1998. Published under various frequencies during the first part of the 21st century, the Free Press again became a nonprofit monthly publication in 2017 with both a print and web presence, published by the Columbus Institute for Contemporary Journalism and operated by a volunteer staff and board.
