Jane Addams Day--10 Dec 2016--University of Illinois, Chicago
*** Greetings from Kristin! ***
http://listbabyqa.hostbaby.com//file/view/52139
December 10 is Jane Addams Day, celebrated in Chicago and around Illinois by many groups. I'm happy to have a direct connection to Jane Addams via my mother's family (the baby in picture, my mom, is wearing a sweater knitted by Jane Addams, and her mother, my grandmother, was one of the "Hull House Children." Jane Addams is our family deity!)
This Saturday, Dec. 10, from 1-3 pm, I'll be part of the Jane Addams Day Celebration at University of Illinois at Chicago, in the Student Center East, 750 S. Halsted Street, Room 603 (Chicago 60607). Two distinguished historians will discuss the role of Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr in women's electoral politics.....*sigh* .... and I'll sing some songs!
Admission is $12 at the door.
