In the second of our two-episode series about Jane Addams, we continue telling the story of Hull House and Addams' impact on the development of the the city of Chicago. Addams was a keen advocate for worker's rights and helped mediate the labor unrest that had been shaking the city since the Haymarket Affair of 1886. We survey the long list of projects she supported from juvenile justice reform to children's music education and from housing reform to the building of playgrounds and libraries. We also meet her partners in her projects, including Ellen Gates Starr, Eleanor Sophia Smith, John Dewey, Lillian Wald, and Johnny the Greek. The models of community improvement she created in Chicago began to spread around the US and the world as Addams herself began to set her sights on international issues, namely imperialism, militarization, and war. Her concerns about armed conflict led her to become Chair of the Woman's Peace Party and President of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. We also outline the criticism she endured as a result of her peace activism. As her health began to fade, she maintained her interest in issues of racial justice and community involvement at Hull House.

Dr. Robert Gaynes, distinguished physician and professor of infectious diseases at Emory University, joins Meet the Microbiologist for a unique episode, in which we share the story of Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, the French, female scientist who discovered HIV and found herself at the heart of one of the most bitter scientific disputes in recent history.

Ashley's Biggest Takeaways The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report first reported on a cluster of unusual infections in June of 1981, which would become known as AIDS. Evidence suggested that the disease was sexually transmitted and could be transferred via contaminated blood supply and products, as well as contaminated needles, and could be passed from mother to child. All hemophiliacs of this generation acquired AIDS (15,000 in the U.S. alone). The fact that the microbe was small enough to evade filters used to screen the clotting factor given to hemophiliacs indicated that the etiologic agent was a virus. AIDS patients had low counts of T-lymphocytes called CD4 cells. By 1993, the most likely virus candidates included, a relative of hepatitis B virus, some kind of herpes virus or a retrovirus. Howard Temin discovered reverse transcriptase, working with Rous sarcoma in the 50s and 60s. His work upset the Central Dogma of Genetics, and at first people not only did not believe him, but also ridiculed him for this claim. Research conducted by David Baltimore validated Temin's work, and Temin, Baltimore and Renato Dulbecco shared the Nobel Prize for the discovery in 1975. Robert Gallo of the U.S. National Institute of Health (NIH), discovered the first example of a human retrovirus—human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV-1). Françoise Barré-Sinoussi worked on murine retroviruses in a laboratory unit run by Luc Montagnier, where she became very good at isolating retroviruses from culture. In 1982, doctors gave lab Montagnier's lab a sample taken from a with generalized adenopathy, a syndrome that was a precursor to AIDS. Barré-Sinoussi began to detect evidence of reverse transcriptase in cell culture 2 days after the samples were brought to her lab. Barré-Sinoussi and Luc Montagnier were recognized for the discovery of HIV with the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

In this week's episode, we spotlight the recently released Future of Nursing report, “Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity.” The report is a landmark consensus study supported by the National Academy of Medicine and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. It charts a 10-year path for the nursing profession, to help our nation create a culture of health, reduce health disparities, and improve the health and wellbeing of the US population in the 21st century. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed serious inequities in the nation's healthcare system, with frontline healthcare workers often lacking the necessary PPE and other equipment to safely and effectively do their jobs, and the murder of George Floyd shined a spotlight on the structural racism that exists in the workplace and society at large. In the wake of these challenges, the Future of Nursing report provides us with a north star to guide the nursing profession over the next 10 years, with a particular focus on reducing health inequities and improving health outcomes in value-based care. Our guests are both important thought leaders in nursing. Dr. Susan Hassmiller is the Senior Advisor for Nursing at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and Senior Scholar in Residence for the National Academy of Medicine. Dr. Janelle Sokolowich is the academic Vice President and Dean for the College of Health Professions at Western Governors University. Their voices are united in sharing this important message: nurses are key to health, healthcare, and the future success of our healthcare industry, and educational programs that provide equity in access and learning will ensure our nursing workforce has both the cultural humility and clinical competence to address the needs for greater health equity and diversity.

On this week’s program we will take an in depth look at immigrants: where they came from, why they came to New York, and how their communities impacted the City in everything from our economic ethos to our political culture. We also will look at how one particular kind of institution, the Settlement House, met the needs of immigrants, and we will explore the history of one of New York’s early settlement houses, the Henry Street Settlement on the Lower East Side. My guests will be Robert Snyder, Professor Emeritus of American Studies and Journalism at Rutgers University and the Manhattan Borough Historian, who co-authored the book All The Nations Under Heaven; and national award winning curator Ellen Snyder-Grenier, author of The House on Henry Street: The Enduring Life of a Lower East Side Settlement. Segment 1 Jeff introduces his first guest Dr. Robert Snyder the Manhattan borough historian, a professor at Rutgers, and an author. Jeff asks Robert if he was initially born in New York, which leads him to discuss his upbringing. Jeff then has Robert tell him when he became interested in history, which Robert has been passionate about since he was young. Robert talks about how his books were helpful in getting him elected as the Manhattan borough historian. Jeff asks Robert how he became involved in writing his book All the Nations Under Heaven and his research. Jeff and Robert discuss immigration and the qualities of the first Dutch settlers in New Amsterdam. They go back before the Dutch to bring up the Spanish immigrant Juan Rodriguez, who settled on Governor's Island. Segment 2 Jeff asks Robert about “the rule of twos,” an idea in his book that talks about how every significant immigration surge involves two groups of immigrants. He credits the rise of Irish immigrants to the famine of the 1840s. Jeff asks whether there were any of the Irish that became part of the nativist movement. They move on to the next wave of immigrants; the Italian and Jewish people. Robert mentions how adept the Irish became about joining the American political scene and setting the stage for the following immigrants. Jeff and Robert bring up the effect World War I and World War II had on immigration in New York and how congress at the time began to limit immigration. Segment 3 Jeff introduces his next guest Ellen Snyder-Grenier author of the House on Henry Street: The Enduring Life of a Lower East Side Settlement. Jeff first asks Ellen how she became interested in history, which she inherited from her very encouraging parents. He then asks when her work as a curator started, and Ellen talks about how her college experiences led her down this path. Ellen discusses the joys of her work and working with designers and creative people. Her work has taken her to museums everywhere, from Alaska to Philadelphia. Jeff brings up the settlement house and asks how it is different from other social service houses. Jeff asks when and where the first settlement house is, which first was built in London in 1887 and was created to help solve poverty. Ellen talks about how, by 1910, there were four hundred settlement houses in the city. Ellen mentions Lillian Wald, the nurse who founded one of the city’s most popular settlement houses.  Segment 4 Jeff and Ellen go into depth about how Lillian Wald became involved with helping the disenfranchised. She was inspired by seeing young girls home in the Lower East Side, which had terrible conditions back then. Ellen talks about the programs Lillian created for immigrants and how accepting she was of other cultures. Jeff asks about the services Lillian’s Henry Street Home offered. Jeff brings up the changing Lower East Sides neighborhoods and asks how the Henry Street Home has changed over the years.

On a cold March day in 1893, 26-year-old nurse Lillian Wald rushed through the poverty-stricken streets of New York’s Lower East Side to a squalid bedroom where a young mother lay dying—abandoned by her doctor because she could not pay his fee. The misery in the room and the walk to reach it inspired Wald to establish Henry Street Settlement, which would become one of the most influential social welfare organizations in American history. Through personal narratives, vivid images, and previously untold stories, Ellen M. Snyder-Grenier chronicles Henry Street’s sweeping history from 1893 to today in The House on Henry Street: The Enduring Life of a Lower East Side Settlement (NYU Press). From the fights for public health and immigrants’ rights that fueled its founding, to advocating for relief during the Great Depression, all the way to tackling homelessness and AIDS in the 1980s, and into today—Henry Street has been a champion for social justice. Its powerful narrative illuminates larger stories about poverty, and who is “worthy” of help; immigration and migration, and who is welcomed; human rights, and whose voice is heard. For over 125 years, Henry Street Settlement has survived in a changing city and nation because of its ability to change with the times; because of the ingenuity of its guiding principle—that by bridging divides of class, culture, and race we could create a more equitable world; and because of the persistence of poverty, racism, and income disparity that it has pledged to confront. This makes the story of Henry Street as relevant today as it was more than a century ago. The House on Henry Street is not just about the challenges of overcoming hardship, but about the best possibilities of urban life and the hope and ambition it takes to achieve them.

"To the beat of muffled drums 8,000 negro men, women and children marched down Fifth Avenue yesterday in a parade of 'silent protest against acts of discrimination and oppression' inflicted upon them in this country." -- New York Times, July 29, 1917 EPISODE 330 The Silent Parade of July 28, 1917, was unlike anything ever seen in New York City -- thousands of black men, women and children marching down Fifth Avenue. Today it is considered New York's (and most likely America's) first African-American civil rights march. The march was organized by the NAACP in direct response to a horrible plague of violence against black Americans in the 1910s, culminating in the East St. Louis Riots, a massacre involving white mobs storming black neighborhoods in sheer racial animus. There were no chants or rallying cries. The women were dressed all in white, the men in black. Thousands of onlookers had lined the parade route that day out of curiosity, amusement, pride, anger and joy. How did this unusual protest come to be? How did New Yorkers really react? And why has the Silent Parade gone mostly forgotten for most Americans? FEATURING: W.E.B. Du Bois, Madam C.J.

EPISODE 295: This is a podcast about kindness and care. About the Progressive Era pioneers who saved the lives of people in need -- from the Lower East Side to Washington Heights, from Hell's Kitchen to Fort Greene. Within just a few decades – between the 1880s and the 1920s – so much social change occurred within American life, upending so many cultural norms and advancing so many important social issues, that these years became known as the Progressive Era. And at the forefront of many of these changes were women. In this show, Greg visits two important New York City social landmarks of this era --Henry Street Settlement, founded by Lillian Wald in the Lower East Side, and the Cabrini Shrine, where Mother Frances X. Cabrini continued her work with New York's Italian American population. Then he pays a visit to the Brooklyn Historical Society and their exhibition Taking Care of Brooklyn: Stories of Sickness and Health, featuring artifacts from the borough's surprising connection to medical and social innovation -- from settlement houses to the birth control revolution advocated by Margaret Sanger. If you have ancestors who came through New York City during 1880s through the 1920s, most likely they came into contact with the efforts of some of the women featured in this show. From the White Rose Mission, providing help for young black women, to the life-saving investigations of 'Dr. Joe' aka Sara Josephine Baker, leading the city's fight for improvements to public health. Greg is joined by several wonderful guests helping to tell this story, including Tanya Bielski-Braham (currently of the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh), Beckett Graham(of the History Chicks podcast), Julie Golia (Vice President for Curatorial Affairs and Collections at the Brooklyn Historical Society), Cherie Sprosty (director of liturgy at the Cabrini Shrine) and Katie Vogel (public historian at the Henry Street Settlement).  boweryboyshistory.com Support the show.

This Month in AJN –  July 2019 monthly highlights July 2019 Editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy and clinical editor Betsy Todd present the highlights of the July issue of AJN. The authors of our first CE, “Original Research: Helping Health Care Providers and Staff Process Grief Through a Hospital-Based Program,” investigated the feasibility and effectiveness of offering an intensive bereavement support program to hospital employees in a large health system.

In this episode of The Gotham Center podcast “Sites and Sounds,” Marjorie Feld talks about Henry St. Settlement. This neighborhood agency has been providing immigrant, poor, and working class people from Manhattan’s Lower East Side with social services, art programs, education and health care for 125 years. It was founded by pioneering social worker Lillian Wald, at whose table, you’ll soon hear, presidents and businessmen from around the nation, and the world, came to visit -- occasionally even sitting down alongside labor organizers and radicals to discuss solutions to the various problems of the day. Feld, the author of a prize-winning biography of Wald, discusses the origins of this nationally path-breaking New York City institution, and the many ways in which its founder’s spirit still appears to animate the Settlement -- which sprang into existence to face the mass immigration and inequality of the First Gilded Age, and is now grappling with the Second.
