Jacob Riis was a journalist and reformer in the late 1800s. He used photography and writing to show the harsh living conditions of the urban poor, especially in tenements. His main goal was to make Americans aware of the problems (like poverty, unsanitary living, etc.) in cities. Settlement houses were more associated with people like Jane Addams, preaching a gospel of social justice isn't his main focus, and exposing city government corruption was more for others; his work was about urban problems awareness.
