Thoughts...
What we have failed to see, besides the deception and lies, is how covering it all up has actually been worse than one imagined. Nobody speaks up on it. We walk around as if nothing happened, no one did anything wrong. The fact that we sit back and do nothing when we should do something, is (not) done for the same reason we believe in fictional heros. Someone with power will take care of it.

1889 The Settlement House
Through her journal writing, books, newspaper columns, and volumes of letters to those who helped fund, represent, and endorse the cause of Hull House ideals, she left proof of what she did. She was a woman who had nothing to lose yet she could have lost it all for those she fought for from those she fought against. Immigration, low-income families, children, pregnant women, people with disabilities, the elderly, neglected babies, and other issues that were brought to her attention made her job worth the struggle and the barriers that tried to stop her only made her stronger.
