Jane Addams: the first American woman awarded the #Nobel Peace Prize, 1931, her efforts to revive the ideal of peace & champion social justice globally. She co-founded @aclu.org, 1920, and is the "mother" of the #socialwork profession in the US. She was born #OTD in 1860. #CivilLiberties #HistSky
Black-and-white historical photograph of Jane Addams (1860–1935), the pioneering social worker, suffragist, and first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Addams is seated at a dark wooden desk, her body angled toward the viewer while her right hand holds a pen poised over a piece of correspondence. She is dressed in a formal, dark, three-quarter-sleeve jacket over a white, high-collared lace blouse. Her most striking accessory is a large, dark, wide-brimmed hat adorned with voluminous, light-colored feathers. A thin dark ribbon is tied closely around her neck, and a long, fine chain hangs over her chest. Her expression is composed and serious, characterized by heavy-lidded eyes and a direct gaze that conveys intellectual focus and resolve. To the viewer's left, a tall glass vase filled with light-colored roses sits on the desk, providing a soft contrast to the room's spare, interior background. The composition is a classic portrait that captures the dignity of a woman whose work at Hull House transformed American social reform. The mood is scholarly and dignified, highlighting her status as a leading public intellectual of the Progressive Era.

Friendly Neighborhood Mouse @missmouse.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.
ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop. Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community. Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered. Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.

It’s the anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington. At the march, a souvenir booklet created by the National Urban League was sold for $1 a piece to offset the cost of the event. The Library has a copy of the "We Shall Overcome" booklet, which features powerful graphic collages by Louis Lo Monaco.

1963 Aug. 28. U.S. News & World Report Magazine Photograph Collection, Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.The hands of a Manuscripts specialist at the Library of Congress hold the "We Shall Overcome" souvenir booklet from the 1963 March on Washington. It features a collage that shows three people in silhouettes, holding hands and running.(Left) A letter from the NAACP dated September 1963 explaining that there is a 10,000-copy backlog of the official March on Washington momento, urging people to buy the remaining copies that weren't sold at the march from the National Urban League to help recoup costs of organizing the event.
The table of contents from the "We Shall Overcome" souvenir booklet from the 1963 March on Washington and two of the collage images contained inside. The image on the left is a Black individual with a concerned expression, overlaid with drawn American flag imagery, red and white stripes and one blue rectangle with white stars. The image on the right appears to be someone in KKK robes holding an American flag, with a Black individual in distress near the person's feet.
