6:30-6:45 pm Welcome and Exhibit Remarks Hear from the 96 Acres Project and artist Maria Gaspar about their latest art installation at Hull-House. They will describe how they use art and collective actions to investigate the Cook County Jail wall as a social, political, and psychological frame, imagine and reflect on new alternatives, and grapple with the voices and personal stories located on both sides of the jail wall. 6:45-7:30 pm Jane Addams Birthday Conversations for Peace and Justice honoring Mariame Kaba: “Punishing Girls: The Rise of Girls in the Juvenile Justice System.”
Hull-House is delighted to present this year’s distinguished speaker, Mariame Kaba. With power, vision, and commitment, Mariame Kaba inspires us to fight for a more just world.

About the Jane Addams Birthday Conversations on Peace and Justice Jane Addams was the co-founder of the Hull-House Settlement, a pioneer social reformer, internationalist, feminist, and peace activist. In 1931, she became the first American woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Addams and the residents of the Hull-House advocated for public health, fair labor practices, full citizenship rights for immigrants, public education, recreational and public space, public arts, and free speech. We take the opportunity on her birthday to celebrate the Hull-House progressive tradition, but also offer an opportunity to look forward by honoring a contemporary feminist, crossing various boundaries to bring together people working on issues of peace broadly defined in the present day.
Previous speakers for Jane Addams' Birthday Conversations on Peace and Justice have included three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee and peace activist Kathy Kelly, Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin, feminist and community activist Grace Lee Boggs, American Indian activist Winona LaDuke, intersectional feminist bloggers The Crunk Feminist Collective, and transgender rights and prison activist Miss Major Griffin-Gracy.
The Jane Addams Hull-House Museum serves as a dynamic memorial to social reformer Jane Addams, the first American woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and her colleagues whose work changed the lives of their immigrant neighbors as well as national and international public policy. The Museum preserves and develops the original Hull-House site for the interpretation and continuation of the historic settlement house vision, linking research, education, and social engagement
