Hull-House History On Call
Within the walls of the Hull-House Settlement, Jane Addams and Hull-House associates discussed, debated, and achieved some of the most important progressive reforms of their time.  But what is the relevance of their accomplishments today?  What can the history of Hull-House reveal about the current state of justice and injustice?
Use your cell phone (or land line outside the museum) to hear the comments, reflections, and audio essays of some of the most exciting activists and humanities scholars of our time.

How does it work?
