ABSTRACT
The following section consists of primary source documents—articles, speeches, cartoons, and reports created by participants in this history rather than by historians. These documents provide insight into the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program from its origins through its replacement with Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF) in 1996. For each document, we have included an introduction that lists the author or speaker and provides some brief context.
