Hull-House Educator reads "A is for Activist" by Innosanto Nagara, for MLK Day 2021

For Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2021. Jane Addams Hull-House Museum shared our favorite children's books from the Children's Corner in the museum's progressive education exhibit. The books highlight how demands for justice are interconnected: racial justice must include commitments to gender justice, LGBTQ rights, economic justice and peace. The books also encourage adults of have conversation with kids about how they can make change and share their voice. Visit hullhousemuseum.org to reserve a virtual tour where you can learn more about women’s activism and the work Jane Addams did to expand democracy and demand peace.

About Jane Addams Hull-House Museum:
Jane Addams Hull-House Museum serves as a dynamic memorial to social reformer Jane Addams, the first American woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and her colleagues whose work changed the lives of their immigrant neighbors as well as national and international public policy. The Museum preserves and develops the original Hull-House site for the interpretation and continuation of the historic settlement house vision, linking research, education, and social engagement
The Museum is located in two of the original settlement house buildings- the Hull Home, a National Historic Landmark, and the Residents' Dining Hall, a beautiful Arts and Crafts building that has welcomed some of the world's most important thinkers, artists and activists.
The Museum and its many vibrant programs make connections between the work of Hull-House residents and important contemporary social issues.
Founded in 1889 as a social settlement, Hull-House played a vital role in redefining American democracy in the modern age. Addams and the residents of Hull-House helped pass critical legislation and influenced public policy on public health and education, free speech, fair labor practices, immigrants’ rights, recreation and public space, arts, and philanthropy. Hull-House has long been a center of Chicago’s political and cultural life, establishing Chicago’s first public playground and public art gallery, helping to desegregate the Chicago Public Schools, and influencing philanthropy and culture.
