In this episode of Out of the Archives, "Close to Home: Reflections on the Animal Court," we celebrate the end of 2020 by sharing a selection of stories that are central to the Museum’s future home in Chicago’s Little Italy neighborhood; the Jane Addams Animal Court. You'll hear from residents as they share stories reminiscing on the magical Edgar Miller animal sculptures that served as a meeting ground and landmark for generations of its residents.
A special thanks to the storytellers from this episode, all of whom lived in the ABLA community, including Dwayne Crockett, Byron Dickens, Phron Freeman, Marquita Gandy, JonTia Pegues, James Purgatorio, and Gloria White. We'd also like to thank the members of the Museum's Oral History Corps and other oral historians who recorded these stories including Francesco De Salvatore and Ashley Jefferson.
The Animal Court sculptures could be found at the Jane Addams Homes from 1937 to 2007.
