pretty much anyone who saw jane adams commented on her eyes. jane addams did a tour of europe when she was a young woman, after going to a seminary, a small women's college. she was horrified by what she saw in europe. she toured the tenement district in london, and she felt that the people she saw there were hardly even people. she actually likened them to animals. she said, this is the modern world, because it was the modern world for her. there is no way, in a modern world, that people should look like this. exactly what one could do about it was not clear. she eventually does what one would expect. she turns to her social network, to a woman named ellen gates starr, and they talk about how women could have an effect on the terrible conditions brought about by industrialization in america. five points is the region of new york, the area of new york that is famous in "gangs of new york." it is famous as being sort of the most dangerous part of new york. the question is, what can sheltered, middle-class, usually white women due to ameliorate th

jane adams is from illinois. her father had worked with abraham lincoln. she was only famous, incidentally, for those eyes. which were supposed -- they were blue, and you were supposed to basically sink into those eyes. i'll show you a picture of her later in a empty. pretty much anybody who saw jane addams commented on her eyes. but jane addams did a tour of europe when she was a young woman after going to a seminary. not to smith or radcliffe, but to a seminary, a small women's college. and was horrified by what she saw in europe because she toured the tenement districts in london and felt that the people she saw there were hardly even people. she actually likened them to animals, and she said this is not right. this is the modern world, because of course, it was the modern world to her. and there's no way in a modern world that people should live like this. but exactly what one could do about it was not clear. she eventually does what one would expect. she turns to her social networks, to a woman named ellen gates barr, and the two of them begin to talk

take anyone else, jane adams, all of these folks, the world given to me is unacceptable and i will fight for my humanity. and who was part of humanity. the great leader everyone acknowledges as great, one thing we forget is he is only an activist for 13 years, he became deeper, more complicated, more in touch with what he wanted, the dream kept expanding. by the end of his life, the last three years of his life, connect racial justice with economic justice with global justice or peace, that combination was brilliant. he was not accepting -- in the mid-to-late 60s, hearing about civil rights, you know nothing about me. i am about humanity. when i see an illegal inhumane war i must stand up. this important moral compass. someone like harvey mills or gloria steinem, we can do that too, that means expanding our imagination. it sounds like a contradiction but if we only demand the possible, this is why hillary clinton's campaign is so porous, no -- free higher education. free medical care, 50 qualify for medicare, why 50? why not 30? why not 10? the idea somehow you trim your sales and say le

so this is belle right there, that's jane adams. lesson 18, don't be intimidated by the rich, powerful or the popular if you believe they are wrong. theodore roosevelt was outraged by such passivism. on april 16th, 1915, the chicago herald published a scathing assessment of the women's peace party. in which the still enormously popular former president called the party's platform silly and base. influenced by physical cowardice, vague and hysterical. foolish and noxious and ignoble abandonment of national duty containing not particle of good and exposed our people to measureless contempt. belle la follette fired by that roosevelt assumed that war is the only means of settling international differences and moreover that war is bound to settle them right. history demonstrates that even imperfect and temporary plans of mediation conciliation and arbitration have been more effective than war in securing justice. that, therefore, the enlightened and progressive thought of the age should be organized to eradicate the madness of war and be

take jane adams, you know, take -- i mentioned debs a while ago. i mean, all of these folks said the world that's given to me is unacceptable to me x i'm going to fight for my humanity x in fighting for my humanity, i'm going to expand the definition of who is part of humanity. so martin luther king, the great leader who everyone acknowledges as great, but one of the things we forget is he was only an activist for 13 years. he evolved every year. he became deeper, more complicated, more in touch with what he wanted. his dream of what he wanted kept expanding. and by the end of his life if you read his peaches in the last three years of his life, he's talking about connecting racial justice with economic justice with global justice or peace. and that combination was incendiary and brilliant. but he was not accepting stay in your lane. you know, he was told continually in the late '60s, mid to late '60s, stay in your lane. you're about civil rights. he said if you think i'm about civil rights, you know nothing about me. i'm about humanity. martin lut

florence kelly and florence kelly lived previously at whole house in chicago that was founded by jane adams and ellen gate star in 1889 and was a factory inspector for the state of illinois and came to new york. she moved into the henry street settlement and she worked on child labor, on the eight-hour day for women and worked women's rights and she was a leader of the national consumers league and we have the papers of the national consumers league here at the library of congress and we highlighted one of the articles that florence kelley wrote and published very much in riis style and expose about the issues of women and children in the labor force and their poor wages, the lack of protection for hours. and this particular article was illustrated by a photograph by lewis hind. we have the papers of the national child labor committee and hind was hired by them to go undercover and basically do investigative reports. so this is another riis-like activity that riis was doing these exposes of the slums and basically pioneering investigative reporting and hind went into canneries and factories

ultimately ends up working with his daughter, the suffragist, chairing a suffrage meeting at which jane adams spoke and ultimately saying it is not only the right of women to participate by voting but their responsibility because we the men need them. the country needs them. they need to participate. an enormous change of thinking that was. that is the kind of thing brandeis was thinking about privacy. >> remember what philippa strum said about free speech being the right to express and the right to hear. after brandeis was dead and the court adopted the fourth amendment notion, potter stewart came up with the exact phrasing that had brandeis thought of it would have used it. the fourth amendment protects people, not places. this completely turns the fourth amendment around from the opinion chief justice taft wrote in olmsted. that opinion was a 5-numfour opinion. holmes agreed more or less with brandeis. he agreed with the fourth amendment part. stone was on the court by then and he also agreed. one of the most interesting dissents came from justice butler, one of the four horsemen of the ap

and one of the people who is crucial in this is this woman here, jane adams. now, it's worth mentioning, by the way, that by 1870, so many women are getting involved in education, that by 1870, the majority of people graduating from high school in america are women. that early, women of the majority of high school graduates. only about 2% of americans going to college in that year, but women are already 21% of that group. this is not just a few people. jane addams is from illinois. her father had worked with abraham lincoln. and she was always famous, incidentally, in her life for those eyes, which -- they were blue. you were supposed to basically sink into those eyes. i'll show you a picture later in a minute. pretty much anybody who saw jane addams commented on her eyes. but jane addams did a tour of europe when she was a young woman after going to a seminary. not to smith or radcliffe, but to a seminary, a small women's college. and was horrified by what she saw in europe because she toured the tenement districts in london and she felt that the people she s

are someone deserving of at least a partial grand strategist it has to be jane adams. and the second american woman to win the nobel peace prize. particularly blind to race issues sometimes, it was a really important organization that soft to make the interwar years a postwar era. this doesn't work as neatly for internationalism. that strand comes together with peace internationalists to push for the impact. to outlaw war as an instrument of national policy, the goal was to make this a postwar era. and that was a nonbinding act of moral persuasion. the conditions shaped these faces of internationalism. it shaped a cohesive grand strategy. into perfect lockstep. that is the theory of knowledge. ofis a sort of set principles. it organizes around methods and means and large ends. i argued in my paper, expands our historical reach beyond military means and state act -- and state actors. that is my goal to reconceptualize what the term means. a range of cultural conditions and shape the perception strategists have on material conditions as well as the outcome they seek. can
