Yes, and...Ripples of Reform
Chicago's Hull-House Museum: The birthplace of improv and so much more!
Greetings!
Please allow me to offer a hearty welcome to new subscribers and deep gratitude to all who are here with me. I appreciate your time and support very much.
I’m writing this from a very windy Chicago today. My favorite tree is stripped bare, I have a new-to-me dark grey sweater to keep me warm, I visited a graveyard to honor the season, and the first pot of soup of the season was cooked a few days ago. Ahhhhhh! I do love autumn!
Many eyes are on the US election as we travel deeper into the fading light of this season. My eyes are looking in several directions, as always. I’m seeing into possibilities for the future which I’ll be talking about in future missives, considering how to care for myself, love, and life in this present moment, and taking a look at history as a teacher and inspiratrix. We’re covering the last bit here today in the Deep Dive.
Today, I’m wrapping up my four-part series on the legacy of Jane Addams and Hull-House. In part one, we talked about Jane Addams and part of her legacy, part two highlighted weaving women, art, and justice, last week, in underscoring absence we talked about how several of the reform efforts at Hull-House made an impact on the city of Chicago (and beyond) and brought forth the polyphony of immigrant voices through art and craft and today, we’re wrapping it up by talking about hearing some of those voices come to life and how Hull-House was the birthplace of improv.
