THE PRESERVATION05 OF LGBTQ HERITAGE Gail Dubrow Introduction The LGBTQ Theme Study released by the National Park Service in October 2016 is the fruit of three decades of effort by activists and their allies to make historic preservation a more equitable and inclusive sphere of activity. The LGBTQ movement for civil rights has given rise to related activity in the cultural sphere aimed at recovering the long history of same- sex relationships, understanding the social construction of gender and sexual norms, and documenting the rise of movements for LGBTQ rights in American history.

  • 1 Teaching LGBTQ History and Heritage Leila J. Rupp LGBTQ
    1 Teaching LGBTQ History and Heritage Leila J. Rupp LGBTQ Heritage Initiative: Theme Study Chapter Imagine a world in which students could visit not just Civil War battlefields that raise the profound issues of slavery and what it means for states to be united, but also buildings that housed places that came to feel like home to people marginalized because of sexuality and gender, places that were important enough to defend against onslaughts by the police. That is the possibility that teaching the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) past through historic sites offers. The houses where famous and less known lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people lived, the commercial establishments they patronized and defended, and even places that mark a history of discrimination and violence offer the opportunity to make LGBTQ history a part of US history in a way that makes a difference for students, wherever they are learning history. A more inclusive history certainly matters to LGBTQ students, who suffer not just from bullying and other forms of discrimination but also from being deprived of a past. Many years ago, I was teaching an introductory US history course when I ran into a student from the class who was working in the local gay restaurant. He told me that he had never heard of Stonewall until I talked about it in a lecture on social movement of the 1960s. He was so excited to hear a mention of the gay past in a history class that he told his roommate about it. He also came out, since they had never discussed their sexual identities, and then the roommate came out to him.

I must first thank the staff at the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum. Director Lisa Lee was kind enough to meet with me near the beginning of my research, sharing her insight on the Labor Museum and steering me in the right direction. The amazing Alyssa Greenberg made me feel instantly at home, going above and beyond to show me the ropes and conquer every challenge. Rachel Glass patiently handled my many requests while working with the museum collections. She also set up a workspace for me in the attic of Hull House, where I spent many hours studying textiles just up the stairs from Jane Addams’ bedroom.

  • The Legacy Wall: Our Illinois Connection
    The Legacy Wall: Our Illinois Connection JANE ADDAMS 2012 Legacy Walk Inductee Lesbian U.S. Social Justice Pioneer and Author (1860-1935) In 1889 she co-founded Hull House in Chicago, one of the first settlement houses in the United States. A leading feminist and suffragette, she called attention to poverty, child labor, public health reform, race relations, adverse working conditions, and prostitution among poor urban women. Addams, a life-long pacifist, was elected president of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in 1915. In 1920 she was instrumental in establishing the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). In recognition of a lifetime dedicated to advancing social justice, Jane Addams was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931. The love of her life, Mary Rozet Smith, arrived at Hull House in 1889 and supported Addams life and work through a relationship that endured more than 40 years. ALBERT D. J. CASHIER Legacy Project Nominee Transgender Civil War Soldier (1843 - 1915) Jennie Hodgers was born in Ireland and immigrated to the U.S. alone as a teenager. Upon arriving she adopted the male persona Albert Cashier. In 1862 the 5’-3” 19 year old Belvidere man enlisted in the 95th Illinois Infantry, Company G. Cashier fought in approximately 40 battles during The Civil War including Nashville, Vicksburg, and the Red River Campaign. After the war he worked as a farmhand, a janitor, a cemetery worker, and a lamplighter, eventually settling in 1869 in Saunemin, Illinois. There Cashier’s biological gender was discovered by his employers but they kept his secret.

  • The Lessons of Cassandra: Classical Learning and the Classical Legacy of Jane Addams and Hull House
    Published on Classicizing Chicago (http://www.classicizingchicago.northwestern.edu) Home > The Lessons of Cassandra: Classical Learning and the Classical Legacy of Jane Addams and Hull House The Lessons of Cassandra: Classical Learning and the Classical Legacy of Jane Addams and Hull House Author: Hallett, Judith P. [1] Date of publication: 2011 Unlike the capital cities of major European countries, Washington, D.C. houses no permanent collection of classical art. In the summer of 1990, however, its National Museum of American History acquired a new, permanent exhibition of artifacts that affirms the importance given to Greek and Roman antiquity by a major contributor to our distinctive American cultural heritage. Entitled ?From Parlor to Politics: Women and Reform in America 1890 through 1925,? this exhibition highlights the accomplishments of perhaps the most distinguished and influential woman reformer of that period, Jane Addams (1860-1935), as founder and director of Hull House in Chicago (Mayo ?Parlor to Politics?).1 A statement made in 1902 by one of Addams? friends, the philosopher and educator John Dewey, accompanies the photographs and printed materials displayed to illustrate the varied activities organized at this pioneering urban social settlement. ?The work of Hull House,? says Dewey, ?has been primarily not that of conveying intellectual instruction, but of being a social clearing house? (Mayo ?Parlor to Politics?).2 Yet, as Allen F. Davis observes, ?from the beginning Hull House was an educational institution. Central to its early goals was a desire to extend the advantages of a college education to the working men? (Davis 130-131).3 The items on display in the museum exhibit include three program bulletins that document the educational, and indeed intellectual, emphases of Hull House during its formative years.
