Jacob Riis used his photographic and journalistic talents to help the impoverished in New York City. He used his books to show what life was like in the slums and to show the middle and upper classes what bad living conditions were available to the poor people. He tried to have the slums and tenements demolished and replaces with a park. He also tried to improve the condition of New York's water supply.
