Welcome back listeners!We have a great episode for you this week which highlights the amazing changes to reform in the USA but also the hauntings in a very historic site.Nestled in the heart of Chicago's Near West Side, Hull House stands as a testament to social reform and a beacon for the supernatural. Established in 1889 by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr, this historic settlement house provided refuge and support to immigrants and the underprivileged. However, beyond its philanthropic mission, Hull House has garnered a reputation as one of Chicago's most haunted locations, captivating the imaginations of locals and visitors alike.Among the myriad of ghostly tales, the legend of the "Devil Baby" stands out. In 1913, stories emerged of a deformed infant with pointed ears, scales, and a tail, allegedly born to a local woman and hidden within Hull House. Despite Jane Addams' efforts to dispel the myth, throngs of curious onlookers flocked to the house, hoping to catch a glimpse of the infamous child. This tale, deeply rooted in cultural and religious tensions of the time, continues to intrigue and unsettle.Beyond the Devil Baby, Hull House is rife with reports of paranormal activity. Visitors and staff have recounted sightings of a "Lady in White," believed to be the spirit of Millicent Hull, the original owner's wife who died in the house. Others have reported unexplained footsteps, cold spots, and apparitions of children playing in the courtyard. These enduring legends contribute to Hull House's status as a focal point for ghost tours and paranormal investigations in Chicago. Join us in this episode as we delve into the eerie history of Hull House, exploring the intersection of social activism and the supernatural. We'll unravel the stories that have cemented its place in Chicago's haunted lore, from the chilling legend of the Devil Baby to the spectral sightings that persist to this day.
I was honored to give the commencement address at a homeschool high school graduation. In this speech, I encouraged graduates to resist the pull of shallow success and instead pursue lives rooted in faith, service, and meaningful relationships. Drawing inspiration from Jane Addams and Abraham Kuyper, I highlighted how small, faithful choices—made consistently—can transform communities and leave a lasting legacy. https://youtu.be/o7rT4hY4s7k Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we're diving into some tough but necessary conversations. Iowa just became the first state to strip gender identity from its civil rights law, and the Pentagon is actively targeting trans service members, forcing them out of the military. But in the face of these attacks, we also have stories of resilience—like a major lawsuit challenging Trump's executive orders and my exciting new role as the newsletter coordinator for BLACKlines, keeping Black LGBTQ+ stories alive. Plus, we celebrate Black queer excellence at the Oscars and dive into a powerful queer women's history series. Let's get into it!

Illinois Tollway's Chief Engineering Officer Manar Nashif joins WGN’s Lisa Dent to discuss the new Chicagoland tollway that will connect the Jane Addams to the Tri-State Tollway. Manar outlines the construction plan and how it affects access to Chicago’s O’Hare Airport.
In this episode of the Teach Different podcast, Dan and Steve Fouts analyze a quote by Jane Addams: “You do not know what life means when all the difficulties are removed,” which emphasizes the importance of struggle in understanding the meaning of life. They explore the claim that difficulties are essential for personal growth and the counterclaim that happiness and peace can also provide meaning. They also share personal reflections on the balance between struggle and peace, particularly in the context of parenting and education. Ultimately, this conversation highlights the importance of knowing when to endure struggle and when to seek peace and happiness.
