Park Prewett Asylum (Park Prewett Hospital), in Basingstoke, was the second county asylum of Hampshire, it was proposed in 1898 to relieve the overcrowding of Knowle asylum in Fareham. Building work was started in 1910 but the asylum was not officially opened till 1921 having suffered a delay due to World War One when the Canadian military used it as the Number Four Canadian General Hospital. The asylum was again affected by World War, when in 1939 the patients were moved out so it could be used an an emergency military hospital for casualties from Europe.

The Association of Directors of Social Work (ADSW) was constituted in October 1969 in response to the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968, an immensely important landmark in Scottish social work history, which in turn was influenced by the Kilbrandon report of 1964.

Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

The Voting Rights Act is a landmark federal law enacted in 1965 to remove race-based
restrictions on voting. It is perhaps the country’s most important voting rights law, with a history
that dates to the Civil War. After that conflict ended, a number of constitutional amendments were
adopted that addressed the particular circumstances of freed slaves, including the Fifteenth
Amendment that guaranteed the right to vote for all U.S. citizens regardless of “race, color, or
previous condition of servitude.”
