Ethel Percy Andrus -- National Retired Teachers -- a Klos family
projectJane Addams - Social Reformer - A Klos Family Project
Ethel Percy Andrus empathized with the plight of retired
citizens and was instrumental in founding the National Retired Teachers
Association and the American Association of Retired Persons. She desired
to assure retired Americans the support of these groups that promoted the
independence and dignity of retired citizens.
Coming from a background in urban education, Ethel became
aware of the meager pensions that retired educators struggled to live on.
The NRTA with a large membership was able to offer its members low-cost
insurance programs and in 1956, the first health insurance program for people 65
and over.
She broadened her scope of interest to found the AARP
in 1958, which offered its services to all older Americans. AARP continues
to contribute to the lives of retired citizens with programs targeting second
careers, health insurance, travel and more. AARP became a powerful
lobbying force for older adults, and Andrus was asked often by federal agencies
to advise them on problems of the aged to improve their programs and
policies. She also was the founder and editor of Modern Maturity,
AARP's popular magazine which has nationwide circulation.
